Research Portal G3-4: Organise

Students will be able to :

• Take notes from their research to inform further learning
• Think critically about the content of their note-taking
• Organise their notes appropriately for future use

Note-taking:
When taking notes from different sources, remember to:

• Use your own words
• Write keywords or phrases
• Use bullet points
• Use drawings, diagrams, symbols, and abbreviations     

Remember to include enough information in your notes so that you understand what they mean and can use them in your final project.

A research grid can help organise your research and note-taking. Comparing sources is a great way of checking that your information is valid. For each question, choose at least 2 sources (books, websites, videos, etc.) and take notes in your own words to answer your question.
