Research
Finding Information
Where do I begin?
1.
Start the process by writing down the questions you need to answer.
2. Decide what sources will have the best information (interviews, books, databases, web sites)
3. Determine what your keywords for searching will be (use a dictionary & a thesaurus)
4. Decide how you will organize and keep track of the information (graphic organizer, outline, note cards)
5. Decide how you'll present the information (paper, work of art, presentation)
6. Decide how you'll know when you're done and that it's your best (rubric, self-edit, sharing)
