\\\Research Organizer

The research graphic organizer will help you gather and organize your research.

When gathering information about your source, remember to take an objective perspective. This
means you are not simply evaluating whether or not the author’s opinion is “good” or “bad.”
Sources that disagree with your opinion are still important sources to consider, and will help you
to consider perspectives that will strengthen your own argument.
