Collecting your Research

You must keep copies of every piece of research.

You may do this one of two ways:
  1. Keep a hard copy of everything in a ring binder (advantage being that you can highlight and annotate easily)
  2. Keep an electronic copy of everything on a USB (advantage being that you can take it everywhere easily, but disadvantage that it's easier to lose so KEEP A BACKUP ON YOUR OWN COMPUTER)

Starting your Blog

Use your blog to do 2 things:

  1. Keep a bibliography (all the information about where you found your source)
  2. Record the progress of your research:
a) what were you hoping to find out from this source?
b) what did you find out?
c) where does this prompt you to look next and for what detail?
