Research: 

Once you have 4 - 6 resources you will use the "Gathering Info" graphic organizer 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

- Important Info

- Quality of the resource

You are specifically looking for information that will help you explain:

• The Problem/Issue
• The Causes (or the Pros)
• The Effects (or the Cons)
• The Solutions

Outlining & Organizing:

Now that you have gathered information it is time to organize it to make it easier to put together your Learning Fair Presentation.

Your Goal:

Take all of the information you gathered and organize it according to:

• Problem/Issue
• Causes (or Pro's)
• Effects (or Cons)
• Solutions 

Steps:

• Begin with 1 article at a time
• Read each piece of information you gathered
• Write it in the appropriate category
• Repeat
• You should be able to explain each of these categories in your own words
• You should also be able to explain why you care about your topic, or why the topic is important
