Organizing for the Journey Ahead

• I can research my topic and take organized notes about my topic

**Today, I want to teach you that researchers organize what they are bringing with them to their writing. When things are organized, it is easier to use those things.




1. Choose topic : Endangered Species - Leather-Back Sea Turtle (Mrs. Ray's)

3. Mrs. Ray will explain how to organize your post-its.

Research Writing 3 - Note-Taking

Research Writing 3 - Note-Taking

** Today, I want to teacher you that researchers shift between reading to collect and record information and writing to grow idea. As note-takers, then, researchers record and also reflect. When reflecting, researchers think, and talk and jot about patterns, surprises, points of comparison or contrast, and they entertain questions.

I can put research I have collected into my own words by taking time to think about all of the research collected.

**Today I want to remind you that before a writer writes, the writer often gets full of the kind of writing he or she aims to make. Poets warm themselves up by reading poetry. Speech writers listen to great speeches. And informational writers, too, profit from reading by reading informational writing.

• I can pick trusted sources of information for my writing and give credit to those sources.
