A good researcher must dig to find words that help answer the research questions. He or she

must toss aside the unnecessary sentences, phrases, and words. The unnecessary words do not

help answer the question.

Sometimes we can call the important

words “Fact Fragments”

“A note is a “fact fragment”- a piece of information that will become a complete thought in the final

project.”

How to find Fact Fragments or Notes?

Find the Treasure Words/Fact Fragments

When taking notes remember….

• Make a new card for each question• Write your question number on the top of the

card.• Write down only important words. • Do NOT copy sentences! That is PLAGARISM• On the Back of the card write a sentence or

sentences that will answer the questions using the important words on the front of the card.

• Give Credit
