STEP 3 : GATHER

Using your research questions as your guide, read from a variety of sources to gather as much information as you can to deepen your understanding of your topic.  In this step, you will need to determine which information is relevant and interesting for your research. You will also need to cite, quote,and paraphrase correctly in order to share your knowledge in an ethical way. Using several sources, take notes that will help you answer your research questions.
