"research paper" AND site:com

In response to a request from the State, our county has recently adopted a research model for use K-12. We are in the planning phase right now with limited implementation planned for next fall. After a year of weighing the various programs, we finally decided on the Big6 program. It was the most versatile of the choices, K-12, and it is essentially FREE. Big bonus. No workbooks to purchase. No software to load.

Here are some highlights of the Big6 program.

The research project is broken down into six steps, hence the title of the program. Students begin with Task Definition, move through Information Seeking Strategies, then Location and Access, Use of Information, Synthesis, and Evaluation. The elementary program is pared down to three steps. Check out www.big6.com for more information.

Some of the highlights that I have just used include the research paper organizer, the note taking sheet, the electronic note cards, and NoodleBib Quick Cite (create a free account).
