Journal

In your journal, write the answers to the following questions:

1. How did I get my information out of my sources? (make a table like this example in your journal)

My questions
Source
Where I looked in it for information

Information I found
How can snakes can swallow big animals? Science Encyclopedia Index, then volume S, pg. 293

Their teeth won't work for chewing

Their jaws are loosely connected
Same as above World Book Encyclopedia Index, then volume 17, pg. 434b

They moves their jaws one side at a time, which moves the animal inside.

Lots of saliva helps wet the passage

2. Did I take notes any different ways than this table? (for example, use an outline, or draw pictures)

3. Did I like this way of writing down information? Why or why not?

4. Would I do it a different way the next time? What would I do instead?

5. Did the information I got answer my question?

6. Is my information accurate? Do the sources tell me anything about the author? Does the author know what he or she is talking about?

7. What do I think about my finding? Do I need to ask more questions? What are other questions I need to ask?

8. Do I have enough information for my project? If not, what will I do next?
