Key Concept
Are you ready to answer the questions you wrote to guide research on your topic? You located credible sources and gathered accurate and reliable information. You took notes on the information that could help you answer your research questions.
How can you use your notes to answer your research questions? First, you need to organize the information you gathered. One effective strategy is to organize your information graphically. You can use a graphic organizer, which is a visual representation of knowledge.
A graphic organizer helps you arrange many different pieces of information into a few logical ideas or concepts. An effective graphic organizer shows how ideas or concepts are supported by accurate and reliable information.
If you have taken effective notes, you already paraphrased and summarized the important ideas you need to answer your research questions. Now, you can use a graphic organizer to put your ideas together and show what you learned about your topic.
