Research 
 We can use the internet 
Remember that not all sites are correct. Not all sites are 
appropriate for children. Not all information is relevant. 
Conduct your internet searches carefully and thoughtfully.
Research 
 We can use books 
Books can be found at the school or public libraries. 
Be sure to choose relevant books.
Research 
 We can use the newspapers of magazines 
Search through a newspaper carefully. 
These sources may not be useful because the information in 
them is daily or monthly and may not have information about 
the person you have chosen to research. Using this source 
could be time consuming.
Research 
 We can use documentaries, T.V., news reports, movies 
These sources can help you learn about the person and their 
life in a visual way. 
Remember that sometimes movies can change reality and not 
always represent the person accurately.
Think… 
Can you think of other ways to conduct your research?
What kind of information are 
we looking for? 
Who is this person 
What is their special contribution or ability 
When were they born 
Where do they live 
Why did they do this 
Why do they inspire you 
How did they accomplish their goal
How do we gather our 
information? 
After reading, summarize what you have read 
Takes notes in your own words 
Be sure to take enough note to be able to answer 
who, what, when, where, why, and how in detail 
If you do not take relevant, rich notes, you will not 
have enough information to write a complete 
research paper
What next… 
When you have chosen your topic and you have found 
enough relevant information about this person you will 
start to write your paper.
