Read with a question in mind

This is a reminder and tip for those who work on research projects:

Merge your own thinking with information found in informational books.

It's so easy to get lost in an ocean of sources! What information to pick? Does it support your idea? Is it a fact or opinion? Who is talking about it?Is it biased?

Stop, think, and react on what you have found. Does it answer your research question?

Graphic Organizer Foldable

Literacy Network and Project ReimaginED (ISTE) highlights a 3-D graphic organizer Foldables. 

Foldables are used in classrooms to organize information in all subjects.

Creating visuals and presenting information through making 3-D paper models help students not only to retain data and practice writing skills but also to express themselves in a creative way.


Even though these visual displays are hand made, they can also enhance digital skills.
When students decorate their foldables with images taken from the Internet, teachers explain them how to choose Google Search Tools - Usage Rights: noncommercial reuse. Students also practice to provide credits to image creators.

Foldables can be organized by topics, digitized and stored for future references and student digital portfolios.

Visit a Foldable pile in Pinterest that is yet another excellent way to manage information.
