Research Tip #3 - Think 5 W's and an H

To gain a basic understanding of your topic utilize the 5 W's and an H method. As you look through books and websites ask yourself...
1. Who
2. What
3. When
4. Where
5. Why
6. How

My suggestion is to use a separate piece of paper for each source (book or website) you use. Place the source information - author, title, URL, etc. at the top and down the left side list who, what, when, where, why with room in between each item for notes.

As you read through a source you can then fill in this information.
