2. Drawing on the material collected from the annotated bibliography, explain what makes your research question or problem important to explore.
3. Which methodological approach would best address your question? Select a specific method (i.e. if quantitative: surveys, experiments, content analysis, secondary sources; or if qualitative: interviews, focus groups, field research, historical documents and discourse analysis) and explain how the method selected addresses your research question. Some of the questions that can help you explain your choice could include: What variables are you studying? Is this qualitative or quantitative research? What type of relationship are you looking at? Are you drawing on a macro or micro level of theory? Is your question best addressed by an inductive or deductive approach? Do you require a rigid or flexible approach? Be sure to define and explain these aspects in relation to your research question.

What would be the best way to go about selecting your sample and what is your target population? What specific sampling technique would you use and why? (e.g. simple random sample, snowball, etc).
