Big 6 Step
4: Use of Information
Begin
your research!
- Depending
on the resources, family members will read, view, listen, and interact
with information
that answers their questions.
- TIP--
Use team work, and divide up the questions among
group members. You can use index cards for taking notes. Large index
cards work well for K-2nd grade children.Write one
question at the top of each index card.
- Tip--
Parents and older siblings can help younger children by reading
information from sources.
- TIP--
Try these helpful
research links.
- Make
sure that each member takes notes to help remember the information.
- TIP--Remember not to copy
every word from a source. Write down only the important words and ideas
that answer the question on each index card.
- TIP--Make sure to cite your
sources. List the sources used to answer a question on the back of the
question index card. Check out the helpful
research links page for more information on how to cite different
types of sources.
- TIP--Note taking can include
representational drawings, diagrams, tables, labels, etc. Younger
children can draw pictures, and parents or older siblings can help them
with
the writing and labeling.
