What does Angry Birds have to do with research? 

Picture
In order to be successful when playing Angry Birds, you must:
  • think critically
  • be persistent
  • learn from your mistakes
  • use everything you learn as you progress through the levels

The Research Process

Research is a process. Knowing that process will make your lives so much easier. Here are the basic steps:

1. Explore: explore your topic using resources to get background information and build a base of knowledge 
2. Ask : Develop a question or questions based on what you learned from your exploratory research and what you want to know (& suspect)
3. Find: Find and evaluate resources that will help you answer your question
4. Gather: Gather info from your sources, keeping track of where you got your information (note-taking and bibliography)
5. Connect: Connect the information you've gathered to your original question
·       Reevaluate (does the information answer my question, is it sufficient? does it point me to another question?)
        In the end, CARE about your research (Connect And Re-Evaluate)
6. Presentation: Presentation of information (paper, poster, etc.)
