 SIX STEPS ON HOW TO RESEARCH A TOPIC

Step 1 – Define
What is the problem I have to solve?
Why do I need the information? Is it for an essay, a report, or a speech?

Step 2 – Locate
How do I find the information I need?
Use the best resources from a variety of sources Encyclopedias, Magazines,
Videos, Internet, People and organizations.

Step 3 – Select
Which resources are best to use? Is the information relevant?
What can I leave out? Evaluate the information carefully – is the material
up to date, who wrote it, and for what audience? Record the sources of
information for your bibliography – this is an important step. Record all
your sources as you use them. This will save time at the end of your
assignment.

Step 4 – Organize
How can I best use my information? Have I got enough information to do
my assignment? Do I need to use all of the information I have gathered?
You may not need to use all of the information you have gathered. How can
I best combine information from different sources? Have I used correct
spelling and grammar?

Step 5 – Present
How can I best present the information? Is my presentation logical and well
organized? Have I completed the assignment? Have I used my own ideas
and opinions and acknowledged ideas from others? Is the presentation
appropriate for my audience?

Step 6 – Assess
How well did I complete the assignment? What did I learn? Is there
anything I need to improve - locating, selecting, note making, time
management? How can I improve? Do I need to ask for help? Who should
I ask?

An information source is a database of facts or anything that might
