Step 1: Create a Keyword Table

Begin by creating a keyword table on your chosen workplace issue. These keywords will help you identify the key concepts and terms in your topic, and they will be the words you search when you're looking for high-quality research sources for your Fact Sheet in the coming weeks. You will use the Texas University Keyword Generator to create this list. You may have used this tool previously in Module 5, but now that you have had more time to consider and refine your topic you are going to revisit it to create an updated keyword table:

Keyword Generator Tool

After following the guided steps in the tool, you'll be left with a table of keywords/ search terms.

Here's an example of what the finished table will look like. My topic is "Racist microaggressions in the corporate workplace."

Topic	Racist Microaggressions in the Corporate Workplace
Key Concepts	Racist	Microaggresions	Corporate	Workplace
Related Search Terms	Racism Racial prejudice Racial discrimination	Harassment Bullying Biases	Corporate culture Company Corporation Business Office	Employer Employment Job

Re-create your table in a Word Doc.

Step 2: List Your Research Questions

Using the guidelines and examples in Module 7 (Section entitled "Creating Questions to Guide Your Fact Sheet Research), generate 5-6 questions that will lead you to information that serves your intended audience and purpose. List them below your keyword table.
