How to do RESEARCH

.

The Big3 1st-2nd Grade

Helps you plan and then do your project or report!

1. Plan -

  • What am I supposed to do?
  • What do I need to do it?
  • What am I supposed to turn in when I am finished?

2. Do -

  • What do I need to do this job?
  • How will I find out what I need to know to do this job?
  • What am I going to make to show what I learned?

3. Review -

  • Did I do what my teacher asked me to do?
  • Do I feel good about what I have done?
  • Do I need to do anything else to it before I turn it in?
The Big6 3rd-4th Grade

Helps you plan and do your project!

1. What needs to be done? What did the teacher as me to do?

2. What resources do I need to use?

  • Books?
  • Encyclopedias?
  • Magazine articles?
  • Internet?
  • People?
  • 3. Where will I find these resources?

    4. What can I use from these resources?

      Trash or Treasure!!? Taking good notes and asking good questions!

    5. What can I make to finish the job and show what I know?

    6. Did I do what I set out to do? Am I proud of my work?

     

     

     

    How to choose a book

    Is it too hard?

    The 5 finger test is an easy way to find out if a book is too hard. Read any page in the book. Each time you don't know a word, hold up one finger. If you have five fingers up by the end of the page - the book is too hard. You can also use you AR level to help select a book that is on the right reading level for you. Once you find books that you can read you must select those that you WANT to read!

     

    Am I interested in this story?

    To do this read what the publisher has placed on the book jacket to tell you a bit about the story. Finally, if you start the book and don't like it -- DON'T READ THE BOOK.

    Now that I can read -- I want to read REAL BOOKS!
