Research Project in LA

Over the next few weeks the sixth grade students will be selecting and researching a sport or hobby that you are interested in or want to learn more about! When your research is complete, you will be creating an outline and a demonstration speech that you will present to your classmates!

Research Requirements
1.Research Library Days – Monday, May 9 -111 (4 days total)
During this time you are expected to stay on task, work quietly (remember this is a library), and gather enough information about your sport/hobby.
2.When researching you will need to fill out a “Bibliography Sheet” for each source you find. (ex. , Internet, CD-ROM). You will need to use at least one print source ( Book, magazine, encyclopedia) and at least one scholarly data base (EBSCO, World Book Online). You must use at least three different sources.



Bibliography Sheets

Once you have decided a fact will be used from a source, you must complete a bibliography sheet. ONE sheet must be filled out for EACH source.

Note Card Requirements
1.You will be required to turn in a minimum of 30 note cards. Many of you will need to use more than 30 due to the abundance of information you will discover about your sport/hobby.

2.Your note cards should include the following themes from your sport or hobby.
a.History & Origin (where/how the sport originated)
b.How To... (this is what you will use for your demonstration speech! Use 10-15 cards for this section)
c.Interesting Facts
