You're curious and interested in your topic. |
|
You're more interested in making your report cover or slideshow look clever and cute. |
| You're looking for answers to questions that have always made you wonder… | |
You are bored with your topic. |
| You have genuine questions after reading about your topic. | |
Your only question is, "How fast can I get this done?" |
| You develop your own ideas, opinions, and solutions. | |
You have no opinions because the topic does not matter to you. |
| You don't get lost in piles of useless information, because you have real purpose for your research. You know what you need! | |
You think that a longer report is better and that the teacher won't notice if you write bigger or use a larger font. |
| You don't waste time. You know that some information is just 3 minutes away in your library's current world almanac, and most likely, 300 hits away on the Internet. Let me guess…You go to the almanac. | |
You're staring at page after page of hits from a search engine, wondering what to do next. |
| You're picky about information. You can tell the bad information from the good information. (You'll be an expert on this next week!) | |
You take information from the first site that pops up on the search engine. |
| You're excited and want to share your information with others. | |
You're excited about getting the assignment turned in on time. |
| You continue studying your topic and following it in the news because you want to learn more. | |
You only want to learn more about sleep, because you stayed up so late the night before the report was due. |
| You're proud of the information you've gathered. | |
You're afraid the teacher will discover that you have copied the information. |
