Research Process - Simple Four
//(Planning means that students are engaging the topic and deciding what they want to know about the topic and/or information they need for their assignment.)//
 * Step 1: PLAN: Students should ask themselves such questions as:**
 * What do I need to do? (Research Paper Requirements)
 * What's my assignment: What's my research topic? (Select one of the topics below.)
 * What information do I need for my research topic? (You will need facts about your topic in Shakespeare's day and facts about the topic as it exists in today's society.)

Topics

 * Death rites/ rituals of Shakespeare’s day versus today’s death rites/rituals
 * Herbs and plants used in Shakespeare’s time versus today’s holistic medicines
 * The Black Death versus a modern-day epidemic
 * Marriage customs of Shakespeare’s day versus today’s marriage customs

//(As students ACT on their plan, they must prioritize their list of possible sources of information, find those resources, engage the resources to extract the relevant information and then evaluate the information for credibility, authority, and relationship to the topic or assignment.)//
 * Step 2: ACT: Students should ask themselves such questions as:**
 * Where can I find the information I need for my research project? (See links below for suggested resources.)
 * What information source(s) will be most helpful for my research project?
 * What search strategy will work best for each information source? (e.g., book, online encyclopedia, web site?)
 * Now that I've found some information what do I do with it? (Using the information)
 * How do I decide what I need from everything I've found?
 * How do I investigate all these resources to make a decision about what I need?

//(When students ORGANIZE their information, they are making decisions about that information and their assignment or research topic. During this phase, students will write their report, create their multimedia presentation, complete the assignment, and submit their work. During this phase students must demonstrate what they learned.)//
 * Step 3: ORGANIZE: Students should ask themselves such questions as:**
 * How can I put my information together to show that I answered my question? (Organize note cards into categories.)
 * How can I show what I learned? (Use the Plan for Essay)
 * How do I document all the information sources I used? ([|Lexington One Bibliographic Citations)]

//(When students REFLECT on their work, they are evaluating their product as well as their research process. During this phase, students' work may be submitted for peer review. Also during this phase, the teacher and/or library media specialist will reflect on the students' work and using a grading rubric, evaluate the students' work for assigning a grade.)//
 * Step 4: REFLECT: Students should ask themselves such questions as:**
 * How will I know if I answered my question?
 * How will I know if I did my job well?
