Identify Your Research Task

Identify Your Research Task

What am I supposed to do?  RESTATE the assignment in your own words.  

  • What does this assignment require me to do? What are the rubric requirements?  
  • Who is my intended audience?
  • What will my final project/product look like?  

Ask your teacher to explain the assignment if you need further help.  Think about and decide on the appropriate technology needed to complete the task.

What information do I need in order to do this?

  • What information do I need in order to complete my task?
  • How much information do I need?
  • What type of information do I need? (facts, opinions, graphics, charts, maps, etc)
