1. How to Research

2. Re-Search
Research takes more than just a minute on Google or Wikipedia

3. Use several key words
Don’t search for a topic using only one key word or key phrase
Topic: World War One Stats
Poor Search:
“WWI information for Canada”
Good Search:
“Canadian casualties during World War One”

4. Re-Search Don’t just search once for an essay
Search several sites; check them all out
Make decisions whether they are valid or not

5. Bookmarking
Bookmark any important site that you come across while researching
Open several tabs and browse several pieces of information in the same “research time”

6. Be Suspicious
If the website is too “happy” or too “sad”, triple check its validity
If it is too happy or too sad, there is often reason to believe that the other is bias and the information is distorted
