The document provides guidance on using keywords and synonyms for research. It defines keywords as the main words of a topic used for searching. Students are instructed to brainstorm keywords for their topic and create a word cloud to visualize the main terms. Synonyms are defined as different words that mean the same thing. Students are told synonyms are important for searching because keywords may not always work and to use a thesaurus to come up with alternative terms for their topic. The document emphasizes experimenting with keywords and synonyms and paying attention to search results.

- Student will create their own at Wordle.net and write down keywords on their homework that is due.
- 1 – specifics… like location. Adding United States or Indiana to your search will narrow things down. 2 – look at the results. Skim some articles. Do you see words used that you hadn’t thought of? Add them to your list. Give an example. 3 – similar – look for the tags applied to that article by others, these can be helpful keywords 4 – try different combinations till you find what works 5- keep trying!
