Original Prompt

Create a slideshow about Mastering Research Questions (Open vs. Closed). Include definitions and examples from the existing worksheet, the Montana Grey Wolf research scenario, and add interactive hands-on activities like a 'Question Sorting' game and a group role-play activity for practicing research interviews.

This learning resource is designed to facilitate a lesson on the art of research questioning specifically focusing on the study of wolves and their ecological impact, as exemplified by the reintroduction of Grey Wolves in Yellowstone Park. The lesson will guide students through distinguishing between open and closed research questions, enabling them to formulate effective, testable inquiries. Activities include brainstorming questions, sorting them into categories, and simulating interviews to practice professional inquiry techniques. Additionally, students will reflect on real-world issues, crafting both closed and open questions to explore deeper causes and solutions pertaining to environmental or social topics. The lesson emphasizes the importance of effective questioning in research to stimulate critical thinking and discussion.
