Research+Strategies

=How do you get the information you need? = Read for a purpose. Have keywords in mind when you read, and when you locate those keywords, slow down and read carefully. After you locate important information, think about what it said. Put it in fifth grade words, then write it on your paper. Don't forget to include dates and names. Always put where you located your information (the name of the website or book). This is called "citing your source". If you fail to do this, it's the same as saying you made it up!
