1. Describe how the pre-notetaking sheet helped you find both focus for your topic and research questions to investigate. Did you find it easy or difficult to create a fat question from your ideas?

The note taking helped me alot to see a bunch of questions i could pick for my fat question. I found it kind of difficult to find a fat question because I had so many questions that were big but not big enough. I finally found one which is the one in red.
