Today in class you are getting a research checklist. Your parent/guardian must sign it.
When you go to the library tomorrow you will need to take 2-column notes AND keep track of where the information came from. The books and websites you use are called sources. You will need to cite them for the written portion of the project.
You will track your sources by filling out a citation worksheet for each book or website that you use. There are different worksheets for regular books than for encyclopedias & reference books. (we will introduce you to the worksheet for websites another day.)
