7. Initial searching:
Books - our class library
People - my sister
Web - articles
- pics
- video
Post-it notes in books
Bookmarking web addressing or ing addresses to myself.
My initial browsing told me if I was going to be able to do the inquiry I’ve chosen or not (my fat question). If I couldn’t find anything, I would have had to rewrite my fat question and choose another area.
I started my bibliography here.
This is also when I worked out the headings for my wagon wheel.

11. Choosing a planner…

13. Bibliography – keep recording as you research
Books – what to use, what not to use “Little Penguin” book – what’s my question? Keeping focussed on sustainability.
Website – what happens when you Google “Little Penguins”? What sites to choose, using the address to help
Difficulties with research information -dates
-facts
Links from one site to another
Always Right Click, Open in a New Window
Collecting pictures
By now my bibliography is finished and looks like >>>>>

18. Paragraphing – do I use Word or pen and paper?
Check the rubric – are my notes meeting requirements?
Check my questions – has my note taking answered my question?
Tick off the Wagon Wheel as I write
Group my facts into paragraphs
Move my paragraphs around
A lot of editing
Spelling, capitals, readability
Concluding properly – bringing it together and answering my fat question
