STEP TWO: RESEARCH
It is time to put on your historian hat!
Thesis: ___________________________________________________________
In your research you are trying to uncover truths about your topic. You will have to compare sources to ensure the information you are gathering is reliable. As a result, haphazard searching is unacceptable.
You should…
- Use databases
- Use reliable websites
- Use print sources (magazines, books, encyclopedias, reference materials)
You should use caution when…
- Doing random Google searches
- Using information off of random, unreliable websites
- Using Wikipedia as a source for research
You must cite and give credit to every source you use. In class, you will learn a method for keeping track of your citations.
Getting Started…
You do not have time, space, or the need to research every possible point on your topic. You do have time to research 6 essential questions (5W's 1 H):
Questions:
- Who - Who was Gloria Steinem?
- What - What did Gloria Steinem do?
- Where - Where did Gloria travel to?
- When - When did Gloria start taking action?
- Why - Why is Gloria Steinem important?
- How - How did Gloria change the world?
Taking notes on your research findings is a critical step in your project. Your notes will be periodically checked by me during your research process and collected when you complete your project.
- Travels to other countries as an organizer and lecturer
- Frequent media spokeswoman on issues on equality
- Interested in the shared origins of sex and race caste systems, gender roles, and child abuse
- Organizing across boundaries for peace and justice
- Beat breast cancer
