Hey, everybody, welcome back to informational essays.
00:03 - 00:06
This is lesson number eight all about research.
00:07 - 00:09
So if you haven't already, go ahead and grab your
00:09 - 00:14
digital writing notebook, because here we go.
00:14 - 00:19
Our objective today is to read to learn mawr about
00:19 - 00:19
your topic.
00:21 - 00:22
So let me ask you a question.
00:22 - 00:28
How do you think authors find fax to share about
00:28 - 00:28
their topics?
00:34 - 00:36
Yeah, There's a couple of different ways, right?
00:36 - 00:38
We can take a look, uh, in a book, we
00:39 - 00:40
can take a look on the web.
00:42 - 00:46
But the most important thing to remember is, while you're
00:46 - 00:49
doing this, be sure to use reputable sources.
00:50 - 00:51
So what is a reputable sources?
00:52 - 00:53
Reputable has to do with reputation.
00:55 - 00:56
They have a good reputation.
00:57 - 01:00
In other words, they're full of good information.
01:01 - 01:05
This is really information that you can trust, and it
01:05 - 01:08
can be checked in multiple places.
01:08 - 01:12
Okay. So even though Uncle Joe knows a whole lot
01:13 - 01:19
about, uh, Karanja LA's okay, Probably a good idea to
01:19 - 01:21
check an outside source.
01:21 - 01:23
Alright, verify the information.
01:25 - 01:26
So that's why we go to reputable sources.
01:29 - 01:30
What are some reputable sources, Mr Malloy?
01:31 - 01:31
Well, I'm glad you asked.
01:33 - 01:35
Here is a list.
01:35 - 01:39
I've attached this to the assignment here.
01:40 - 01:42
We've got 16 different places for you.
01:44 - 01:46
Thio use for your research.
01:48 - 01:52
All right, So what you're going to Dio is find
01:52 - 01:57
your topic on one of these websites and read about
01:57 - 02:00
it. See what you confined about your topic.
02:00 - 02:03
Don't worry about writing down any of the facts right
02:03 - 02:08
now. I just want you to peruse, poke around, see
02:08 - 02:11
what you can find and then on your next trip
02:11 - 02:12
to the library.
02:14 - 02:16
I've already talked with Mrs Isaacs here.
02:16 - 02:19
She is going to help you guys find a book
02:20 - 02:22
on your topic, and you don't have to worry about
02:23 - 02:26
it encroaching on your library choice.
02:26 - 02:28
You get an extra book just for this purpose.
02:29 - 02:33
Okay? Also, if you're up for it, don't be afraid
02:33 - 02:34
to go to your public library.
02:35 - 02:36
Librarians there are very helpful.
02:37 - 02:38
And I bet you they could help you find some
02:39 - 02:40
more information on your topic too.
02:41 - 02:43
Alright, so that's what we're doing today.
