Find Good Sources 🟪 It’s impossible to write a good research report without good information.
- Look for books and magazines in the library.
- Search the Internet for articles and videos. (See pages 299–304.)
- Interview people who know a lot about your subject.
Mark Both Print and Digital Sources 🟪 When you “mark” a source, you are reminding yourself where you found important information. This can be done in many ways.
When Using Print Information
- Use book tabs to mark important sections of a book or article. You might choose different colored tabs for each question.
- Use highlighter tape or sticky notes to mark key ideas, words, or phrases. (If you have printed an article from the Internet, you can write directly on those pages.)
When Using Digital Information
