Prewriting: Gathering Information
A photo shows a woman with a magnifying glass in front of her eye leaning forward and looking at a laptop screen.In the previous lesson, you wrote a research proposal and received feedback from your teacher. In this lesson, you will start gathering information efficiently from well-selected sources.
What is the best way to start gathering resources? When you gather resources, remember these key words:
efficiency: Online search engines and databases can flood you with information if you don’t know how to input the right data. You need to learn to use search engines and databases efficiently, so that you can access accurate and useful information quickly.
reliability: Learn to spot whether a source is reliable, or whether it is biased or even inaccurate. Sources such as encyclopedias and textbooks are inherently reliable, whereas sources such as blogs and online comments will always need a double check with a reliable source.
variety: A good research paper relies on a variety of sources. If you rely on too few sources, then your paper will seem unsupported.
In this lesson, you will start gathering information for your research paper. Remember to maintain a variety of primary and secondary sources both printed and online. You can gather information from encyclopedias, books, periodicals, and other media at your school or public library. You can also look for online publications, newspaper articles, and other materials on the Internet.
To help you keep track of your resources, write down the author, title, and medium—including the Internet address for Web sites and the section and page number for newspaper articles—of all the sources you think might be useful. Then notate what kind of information each resource provides. By doing so, you will be able to locate information quickly when you begin drafting your paper and when you complete your Works Cited page.
