Keeping Track of Your Research
This is definitely the most time-consuming part of your National History Day experience!
Taking notes as you read is a pain - there's no denying it!
But you can't put together a decent project unless you have lots of information, neatly organized. Every time you find a website, book, video, or even picture that relates to your topic, you need to take notes on whatever new information you've learned from that source. Always put notes IN YOUR OWN WORDS so that there's no risk of plagiarism. |
