eWISE at a Glance:
1. Wonder
- Get curious about something
- Figure out a topic
- Develop a question
- Do some Googling to figure out KEYWORDS and related topics
- EVALUATE your topic/Q
2. Investigate
- Where to look
- Databases
- Library
- Research Zone
- Ask an expert
- What KEYwords to use
- Google likes specific words
- Databases like more general terms
- Librarians can help you figure out your terms
- Why to choose a resource
- EVALUATE your resources - CRAAP test - Is your resource cr** or CRAAP worthy?
- Triangulation
3. Synthesize
- EVALUATE your info - get rid of stuff that doesn't apply
- Organize it so it makes sense - How to create an outline
4. Express
- Could be anything (research paper, presentation, debate, website, etc.)
- CITE your sources (even your pictures - how to find pictures that are ok to use)
- EVALUATE the quality of your product, edit where necessary

Start with a Model
eWISE
This model is NOT linear. Sometimes you start to synthesize or express only to find out you need to investigate more. Every step of the way you evaluate!
