1. Where Do I Start?

Introduction

Okay, so you've been given a research assignment. Where do you go from here?


In this section, you will learn to:

  1. Flesh out your topic by asking yourself a set of questions.
  2. Turn your topic into a research question that you can answer by finding information.
  3. Think of words and phrases to use in a search to help you find information on your topic.
  4. Change your "search terms" to find more specific or more general information.
