Research Planning

It's important to organize yourself for research. Once you have brainstormed, narrowed your topic, checked to see if the topic will work to do the assignment, and developed your questions, you need to get organized and plan how you will do the research. You need to:

Use a binder to keep your work organized.
Include your assignment instructions, your brainstorming, your decision chart, your research plan and all of the research checklists, note taking, rough drafts etc. that you do during the research process.
