Research question

Bad example

What was British food in the 19th century?

Why?

Too long ago. Can't interview people about it. Can't research it in London.

Research question

Bad example

What sports do British people play?

Why?

You don't have to interview people about this. Too broad.

Research question

Good example

What is it like to go to a British secondary school?

Why?

Interviews show insight. Can use both written as spoken sources. Not too big.

Research question

Good example

Do people in London fit the English stereotype that they are polite?

Why?

You can read about stereotypes. Interviews are relevant. It's not too big.
