Dear Mrs. Moore,
For our state reports do we have to write down our sites for each webpage or book we use by Monday with all of the blocks filled out.
David
For Geographic Features component only. You may certainly do others if you wish, but hopefully, you were able to do a good bit of note taking in class yesterday and today. You are aiming for a big notecard/3 blocks of notes for each question in each component so that the writing will be based in solid fact and research. Having lots of notes will make the writing much easier. Does that answer your question? If not, ask again! Have a super week-end, David!
Also can we write same on one block if we find the sames thing as another or should we try to find a different thing, and do we have to site all of our blocks?

Dear Mrs. Moore,

you do not have to fill every block. The idea is to get more notes than you need to answer your questions, so that when you start writing, you'll have plenty of information to shape your answer, and a variety of facts to us as evidence to strengthen your arguments. I would not write the exact same thing in more than one block.
the way the grid I gave you is designed, you write your cite once, and anything you get from that source for that component will fall on the same row as your book. Next row notes will be from your second source, and so on. For more complicated papers, keeping track of exactly what book your information arose will be very important. This is a starter paper, so I am trying to help you see ways to keep things organized.
If I can't find another thing on the Internet about my first question besides from one of the books at school, should I keep the same question or change it to a different question. Thanks, see you when we come back.
David
David, I guess it depends on how much material you have gotten about that question. Do you think you can draw conclusions and answer the question based on what you have already? If so, you are ok--not every question needs notes from every source. Having a different question as well could be a good back-up as you get to writing about it--then you can switch if you get stuck.
Mrs. Moore I've been doing my cover for state reports, and I have a bunch of pictures do we have to cite them?
Mallory
good question Mallory. you do not need to cite the photos.
