[CASL-L] research question

[Jacquelyn Whiting]

Sounds like a great opportunity for a HyperDoc - giving students one period
to explore different types of short media that will spark their
imaginations for research. The teacher could include links to videos
like Google's
history of search for 2017
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI4LHl4yFuo&feature=youtu.be>.

Or, give the students a class period to go on Virtual Tours
<https://www.yougoculture.com/virtual-tours> of the places that will be
studied and start to formulate questions about those places.

Good luck!
