This blogsite will present an expansion of the Sources (Citations) and Note-taking steps found on </span><a href="http://newresearchprocess.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Research Process</span></a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> home site. You might visit there first for a brief contextual background, paying attention to the downloadable instructional materials.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Citing sources and note-taking is predicated on the student having a topic, dividing that topic into manageable and accessible subtopics, locating a variety of physically and intellectually available sources of information and citing them correctly, then learning good research reading strategies. At this point, the student is ready to learn effective note-taking skills and strategies, covered in this presentation as time allows.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;">1. <span style="font-weight: bold;">WHAT: </span>Let's practice what is good note-taking with a sample <a href="http://files.me.com/debstanley550/keb33t">exercise</a>.<br />
2. <span style="font-weight: bold;">WHO:</span> Practice <a href="http://files.me.com/debstanley550/a7rdom">planning</a> for a research unit to see how a <a href="http://files.me.com/debstanley550/xir40s">note-taking lesson</a> is agreed upon by the teacher librarian and collaborating teacher. At what <a href="http://files.me.com/debstanley550/wpi35u">stage</a> are you?<br />
3. <span style="font-weight: bold;">WHEN: </span>Visit some sample research units to see that a key role of the teacher librarian is deciding when a particular note-taking tool is best for students. Based on age and research experience, will you use generic materials such as <a href="http://files.me.com/debstanley550/b70ls4">note cards</a>, a <a href="http://files.me.com/debstanley550/pizgr0">Cornell-style</a> form, a <a href="http://files.me.com/debstanley550/wkunbx">Frayer Model</a> form, or a general <a href="http://files.me.com/debstanley550/rakwvp">elementary</a> form.<br />
4. <span style="font-weight: bold;">HOW: </span>Let's visit some units to see how special note sheets are adapted to the unit:<br />
