Research
RI6.7 - Integrate information presented in different media or formats to develop a coherent understanding of a topic or issue.
RI6.8 - Trace & Evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, distinguishing claims that are supported by evidence from claims that are not.

Task #1
Use the key words, phrases and questions to find 4 - 6 resources that you can use for your research project. You may use any of the search engines, including carrot2, listed on your Key words & Questions graphic organizer
-Remember 1 - 2 resources must be primary sources. 

-The other 3 - 4 resources can be secondary sources.





Next Step: 

* Once you have 4 - 6 resources you will use the "Tracing Arguments" graphic organizer or your "Cornell Notes" to record important information for your research essay and project. 
*Read each article & use one graphic organizer per article. Be sure to record all the important information from your article onto the graphic organizer, including:

-Title of the article
-Name of the resource
-Author's Argument
-Author's Claim
-Quality of the resource

At the end of class I want you to put all of your research graphic organizers and articles in to your research folder in the bin.
