Research Questions & Keywords (HW for Monday)
I want everyone to write your research question here and which keywords you're going to try for your first attempt at using databases for your research. You must use a database at first (no google, yahoo, ask.com, etc.). Read through everyone's posts and offer advice about keywords when you see some you think might not work or some that have worked for you if you've already started doing your research. Ask questions if you have them, too, of course:).

Andrea, your question has evolved in an interesting way. You'll have to let me know if you find good stuff; I'm inclined to think you might have a little difficulty. You'll have to determine what makes a researcher effective first. What will be your criteria for determining that? Then, you can do some first-hand research maybe to test whether one group is more effective at it than the other. The one we read about hunters and gatherers is probably a good model for the research you could do (though scaled down, obviously). You can also check works cited entries of the articles that are useful to you because you can usually find additional sources there which mighgt be helpful for you.
ReplyDeleteEnique, "work citing" probably won't work. How about "citing sources" and "learning"?
