Step One: The Big Six

I really like The Big Six because, to me, it's easy to follow.  So I wanted to explore the problem I'm having and relate it to this model.  Task definition:  What exactly am I trying to do?  What is the purpose of my inquiry?   Well, I need to figure out the problem and identify the information required.  Today, I've been struggling with exactly what to research.  I am still considering three possibilities:  The Tudor dynasty, gay rights, and the Oregon Trail.  What is my task definition for each of these topics...

The Tudor dynasty:  To find out more about this network of relatives and their struggle for power.
Gay rights: To discover the history behind gay rights, which states grant more/less rights to GLBT Americans.  To find out the reasonings behind religious intolerance.
Oregon Trail:  To find out what it was like to be on the trail.

I think I might have to sleep on this!
I'm sorry that I haven't decided yet.  =)
