How can I find what I am looking for?

USE the KEY WORDS!

READ! You have to skim the text, looking for your key words. Read the first and last sentence of each paragraph. Ask yourself if that paragraph possibly contains what you need. If yes, read the whole paragraph. If no, then go on to the next one.

     

Recording your information:
Be sure to use your project handout to record the information that you find as you use the books and websites provided for you.

 

BIG 6 Step 4 

Timeline for assignment: See assignment sheet for details; make sure you are finding all your information before starting to sketch your border. Your final product will be a clay tile. Think about how you want that to look as you gather your information during research.

BIG 6 Step 5
