·       Organize / Synthesize Information

 

As you start looking through your information, ask yourself these questions:

 

·        How does this information fit with what you have already read?  With what you know?

·        How does this information support your thesis?

·        What else do you need to know?

 

Below are several options to begin organizing your information. 

 

·                    Graphic organizer / Word processor or Inspiration

·                    Sequence diagram / Word processor or Inspiration

·                    T Chart / Word processor

·                    Outline / Word process or Inspiration

·                    Decision making grid / Word processor

·                    Venn diagram or comparative columns / Word processor

·                    Tables, graphs & charts / Word processor or spreadsheet

·                    Comparison Contrast Chart / Word processor

If you have information that does not seem to fit, don’t use it.
