Asking

First I must determine what information I want to know, as my search progresses I might have more questions, but for now I need a base to start. I want to know the name of the castle that is used in the film, where it is located and if they have tours available. This information is just for my own personal curiosity. The source of the information is not really important.

The first place I will start is in an Internet search, because it will be the fastest way to retrieve the name of the castle to start. A quick google search of “Downton Abbey Castle” lists 2,090,000 results.

 

Comparison to 8Ws

Taking a look at Professor Lamb’s model of Eight Ws, we can break this step asking, into watching and wondering (1997). By watching the world around me I discovered this popular TV show Dowton Abbey. Everyone was raving about the show. I decided to find out for myself what all the fuss was about and discovered I too enjoyed the show. Then after watching the show, I got to wondering about the castle it was filmed at.
