Back to Research Last week we discussed 5 steps of research: 1.Identify Research Topic/Theme 2.Narrow it down/Form Key Words 3.Enter keywords into Search Engine 4.Evaluate Results Page 5.Choose the best websites Today we will add on two more steps to the research Process.

My teacher gave me an assignment to do a research paper on an animal. 1) Topic: Animals 2) Narrow it down: Ferret 3) Even more Specific = Key words: Black Footed Ferret 4)Once I had my key words, I typed them into my search engine and came up with my results page and I EVALUATED THE SITES 5)Finally I found a great “.org” website to use as my reliable source! But first let’s review:

Too General 2,380,000 results! Specific 38,100 results!

Step 6: Taking Notes Once you have found your reliable source and you begin your research, you will need to keep notes on the information and facts you find. You will need to read or skim the article to look for facts to complete your research. Make sure you just don’t copy all the sentences from the article, but instead just jot down the facts that you need. Your research doesn’t need to be in complete sentences. Sometimes I use bullets to write down the facts I’m recording: Eats other small animals: squirrels, rabbits, birds Sometimes eats plants

From the great reliable source I found, I took notes on the facts I needed. This is what it looked like!

Plagiarism Plagiarism is stealing. – If you go to someone’s house and take his or her iPod without asking and pretend that it is yours, that is stealing. – Reading a book or an internet article, copying the words from it, and pretending they are your original thoughts is also stealing. But before we go any further, we should talk about something called Plagiarism.

Plagiarism Plagiarism is against the law. ◦ UCLA Law has compiled a list of lawsuits filed over the last 100 years for plagiarism in the music industry alone at this website: College students have been expelled from school for plagiarism. Students caught plagiarizing, at the very least, fail their assignments.

How to Avoid Plagiarism To avoid plagiarism, give credit to the source of your information. In other words, CITE YOUR SOURCE!!! Here is how we do that: From the website you are using to record all your research, write down:  the name of the website, and the date you accessed it.

Step 7: Cite Your Source Here is what it might look like: Name of Website Defenders of Wildlife Website, September 18, 2015

Now Let’s Practice and add steps 6 & 7 1) Topic: 2) KEY WORDS: 3) Enter key words into the search engine 4) Evaluate your Sites 5) Choose a reliable source 6) Take Notes (write down two facts): 7) Cite Your Source:

Now try it on your own! 1) Topic: 2) KEY WORDS: 3) Enter key words into the search engine 4) Evaluate your Sites 5) Choose a reliable source 6) Take Notes (write down two facts): 7) Cite Your Source:
