**Research skills support:**
When you are doing research, it helps to use an 'information process model' to help you to take the right steps.



What is the **purpose** of your research? What are you trying to find out? In what **location** will you find information? Which kinds of resources will be useful? How will you find the information you need? How will you **use** the information? Which information is useful to you? How will you use your own words? How will you present it? A **self-evaluation** will help you to learn from what you have done, so your next project will be easier and more amazing!

Note: you may need to go back a stage to re-evaluate your purpose, or to find some more information.
