How do geography and resources affect the choices people make in Washington and the Pacific Rim?
 

Bellingham Schools Research Investigation

7th Grade

Sorting and Sifting Information
Organize and select information that contributes to your understanding.

Now that you have gathered the information to answer your questions and have chosen and investigated 3 locations, it is time to sort through all of this information.

Ask the following questions while looking at your Ski to Sea Chart, Note Sheet, and your Criteria Rubric.

  • Have you found sufficient details to answer all your questions?
  • Do you have enough information about 3 possible host cities?
  • Do you need to develop new questions to adequately cover your topic?
  • Can you throw away material that is not useful or does not answer your questions?
  • Did your Criteria Rubric help you identify the best locations?
  • Do you need other criteria to evaluate locations?
