After you've selected your topic and headings, it's time to research the answers to your questions. Some things to keep in mind.
- Document what you've found. Be sure to tell the location of the source (book, website-National Geographic, video) and then then the source (author, website address, video address). Below is an example of a note card.
- Make sure your source is reliable. Stick to a .org, .edu, or .net. If you use a .com, make sure it's reliable. Can you find the information in at least 3 other sources? Is the date current? Does the author have quality experience?
- Take lots of notes. Use "quotation marks" if you are quoting an author word for word. Do you need to do this? Why are you quoting? Paraphrase short pieces of information and summarize long pieces. Click here to learn the difference. Try to have all your research COMPLETE by Friday.
