Asking Good Questions-
-Read through examples of questions in the links that follow. (You do not have to print the worksheet. After reading, if you do not have each of the question types, simply add the new questions to your hotlist, and then highlight the key words as well as find two sources for each.

Not sure what questions to ask? These sites will help!

(Add questions that deal directly with your three points.)Then you will begin source cards and note cards. Remember your databases.
