Being Resourceful

So, now that we have identified an area of interest and crafted a good essential question about it, we can begin our research adventure.  With so much information, so many sources, it's imperative we know how to separate the wheat from the chaff.  That's where Mrs. Overcash comes in.  She'll walk us through the process we'll be using for the rest of the year and the REST OF OUR LIVES!!!  Be patient, pay attention, and keep up with each part of the program; you'll be glad you did.
