Research - Help!!!!

The Big Question

My teacher has given me an assignment to research a topic and write a report. How do I get started?

When given a research project, students are often frustrated from the beginning because they do not know exactly what is expected or how to get started. This page will give you some excellent links to help plan, write, and present a research project. There are also links to help with bibliographies and copyright questions.

The Big Six

This is an excellent model to follow when planning a research project.

 

Citing Your Work

Remember to give credit to whomever wrote the books, magazines, encyclopedia, etc. where you found your information..

 

Copyright Rules

Don't be a copycat! Remember the rules so you won't get into trouble for copying someone else's work.

 

Internet Site Evaluations

It is important to evaluate the sites used from the internet to make sure they are accurate and true.
