Research - Notice and Investigate [Aug. 22, 2012, 3:41 p.m.]
Before you do this task, make sure that you've completed your annotations and your Dialectical Notes (see Guides) for your research. If your up to date, then take a moment with this task to step back and ask for helpful comments from other students on Youth Voices by creating a Discussion post about your research so far.
This task seeks to keep you from feeling overwhelmed by your research, and suggests that you ask yourself:
- What are the most important things I’ve come to understand about my topic?
- How can I use the information I’ve gathered to make those things clear to someone else?
Begin by writing about your research in a Google Document. Share it with your teacher and a few peers, and ask them to insert comments. Revise, proofread, and make sure you have cited your sources correctly, then post your writing as a discussion on Youth Voices.
