Information Students will read, hear, view and touch resources. During this step, they will develop a method for recording pertinent information. This may include writing key words on note-cards or in a chart or a research organizer. Some students may benefit from making a print copy of the material and highlighting key words and phrases. When using electronic resources, students will need guidance to ensure that their gathering isn't simply a cut and paste exercise. It is important that students put information into their own words and give credit to their sources. |
