Research

THE SUPER 3 RESEARCH PROCESS 

1. Plan: I think about my task and how I will complete my project

• What am I supposed to do?

• What will a "good job" look like?

• What information do I need?

• Where will I get my information?

• What is my plan?  

2. Do: I do my work.

• I get the information I need from books, websites and other resources. 

• I put my information together.

• I might read, draw pictures, .use the computer, or write what I find.

• I cite my sources.

3. Review: I check my work to make sure it is complete.

Is my job done?

• Did I do what I was supposed to?

• Is everything correct? 

• Did I cite my sources?

• Do I feel good about my work?

• Do I need to do anything else before I turn it in?

Let's be Editors! 

What is EDITING? What do we look for when we EDIT Informational Text? 

• Does our writing have a clear beginning, middle, and end? 

• Does it have a strong INTRODUCTION that grabs our reader in the beginning?

• Does it have good and TRUE details in the middle? 

• Does it have a strong ending? 

• Are the words spelled correctly? 

• Am I using my own words? (book, brain, paper) 

• Do any sentences repeat? If they repeat, can we remove or replace the repeating sentences? 

• Are there any details or ideas I can add to make my writing better?
