Name: RESEARCH TIPS Date: Stranded at sea Research project Choose another well-known case of someone or something becoming stranded at sea from the list below, or find one of your own.

Use a newspaper or magazine article, books or the Internet to research the event. Use two or more sources, such as three different websites, including a newspaper site. How to use newspapers and magazines … • Sources the author used are often listed at the end of the article. Find the books or articles to learn more details. Remember to list all of your sources. • Take notes about the information, but remember to use your own words when writing about it. If you use a direct quote, use quotation marks and state the reference, including the title, the article and page number where you found it. How to look for a book on the subject … • Using your library’s catalogue, do a title search or a subject search. Type the keywords ‘stranded at sea’ and the place, date, person’s name involved in the event. How to find information on the Internet … • Photographs, maps, diagrams, charts and displays always make research projects more interesting. Use these visual aids to print and use with your report. Viewing Sample • If a book is shelved by author, it is a fictional or biographical book. Most nonfiction books are shelved by number using the Dewey decimal system. Use nonfiction or biographical books only. • Not everything on the Internet is correct! Be sure to find the information on a site that ends with .edu, .org or .gov. Or find the same information in three separate places. Maybe your school knows of some websites that may be of use. Ask your teacher or librarian for help.
