Fifth Grade Explorers Project


Our Swift 5th graders are learning about explorers. Below are three helpful tools to aid them (and you) in their research.

1. Research Paper Organizer: The Think Tank website helps you make an outline. First you select the kind of topic you are researching, then you choose from a list of things you want to include about your topic, and finally you print out your list and you are ready to go!

2. Taking notes: So now you have used your paper outline to gather sources, and you need to take notes in order to answer each question.

3. Bibliography maker: This helpful website may just be the coolest thing since sliced bread. Any research paper requires a bibliography, which you know is a list of the sources you use. This website lets you make an account (By just selecting a username and password), tells you what information to use, and finally makes your bibliography for you!

Happy researching!
