I would like you to do a trial run of your research. If you are doing a survey or interviews, make a list of about ten questions that you will ask. Ask one person those questions, it can even be yourself. See how they work. Turn it your list of questions. These do not have to be the questions you eventually will ask. If you are doing a content analysis, analyze one case. If you are doing an experiment, do a test run. If you are doing an ethnographic analysis, do a trial run.

For example, if you are analyzing how racial and ethnic minorities are portrayed in Disney movies, make a list of how you think they might be portrayed: for example, lazy, devious, untrustworthy, honest, good friend, perfect, etc. Turn in the list of things you think you might find.
