1. TASK 3 – Research your topic
To complete your report you must research at least two different sources.
You should take notes of what you find. There are two stages to this:
1) You must write down details of your source
e.g. if it’s a book, write the author and title
[J. Bloggs, ‘A History of the Cold War’]
if it’s an internet site, write the title and address
[National Archives, www.nationalarchives.co.uk]
2) Write down any relevant or useful notes
Remember to plan your research so it is easier to complete (see Page 5).
Use the Summary Sheet to help you.
** TIP: Search for helpful book quotes using Google Scholar. **
 Use different sources to research the topic
 Write down notes about what you find out
 Start a new sheet for each different source you use
 Save electronic notes too e.g. pictures
* Internet websites * Newspapers * Books
* Magazines * Letters * Diaries
* Visits/field trips * Interviews * TV/film
Your final report must refer to at least two sources
