Research Step-by-Step
- Choose one of the Leading Issues from SIRS Issues Researcher listed above and open the link provided.
- Read the summary of opinions on that issue, the Critical Questions, and the Timeline for that issue.
- Move three of the most important or interesting sentences from it to the Google Research Document and comment on each.
- Then choose one article on each side of the issue. Find the citation by clicking the SIRS Issues Research CITE button and pasting it into your Google Document.
- While you are reading the article, copy about five short (1-2 sentence) passages from each of your two articles and paste them the Google Doc.
- Write a sentence or so about that fact--your response to it or understanding of what it is saying. This goes in the COMMENT column.
- You will use these passages and comments to write about your topic in a speech that you do not have to deliver, but you can arrange with your teacher to do so for extra credit.
