Get an overview of the topic What do you know about this topic, and what more to you need to find out? Narrow your topic What will be your final topic/focus of research? If your topic is too broad, you will have too much information to manage; if its too narrow, you won't be able to find enough. Develop a thesis statement/Have questions to answer A thesis statement is the opinion/point of view you want to promote. Questions you want to answer guides your research so that you do not write unimportant information and waste your time.

  13. Research Process This information can be found on page 16 in your planner Find information on your topic This is when you come to the library to start gather information, or search the Internet. If you've done the first 5 steps well, you will have no problem finding the information you need. If you find that you are having a difficult time with the information (too much or too little), you need to go back to steps 1-5 and identify which step you don't understand/are having difficulty with. Evaluate information/Take notes/Write bibliography Is the information accurate? How do you know? If its a book, you can be fairly certain the information is correct, although it might support one side of an issue over the other, However, if you use information from the Internet, make sure you compare that information to print sources to check its accuracy - use our evaluation form. For more information on Internet use, see Search tips. When you take notes, write only the important words and phrases; this will help you avoid plagarism. If you find that you are not sure which information is important, go back to Step 2, and ask your teacher for help. Make sure you cite your sources. Your teacher may have a particular way to cite information, so ask him/her.

  14. Research Process This information can be found on page 16 in your planner Organize information Organize all the information you gathered, according to the requirements explained in Step 2. Many times there is more than 1 final product – for example, an oral presentation and a visual product. You need to organize your information in different ways, depending on the final product. Again, if you are not sure, ask your teacher. Create your final product Put your product(s) together, getting ready to turn in your project or to do your oral presentation. Don't wait until the day before its due - many things could go wrong, and you don't want a late grade! Evaluate product/Evaluate process Evaluate product = turn in your product for a grade/give your presentation Evaluate process = if you don't receive a good grade, look back at the previous 9 steps to figure out which step was not completed, which caused you not to do well. Its important to identify the step and make corrections, so that the next time you are given a research assignment, you can.
