ii constructs a research plan, which states and prioritizes the primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem
independently

Use this chart to list the questions that you will need to find an answer to in order to develop a successful game. Write questions in
each of the areas indicated, separated by coding inquiries and culture inquiries. Indicate the priority. This will help guide your
