Developing Keywords to Search After students do the freewrite in the first question, questions 2 and 3 are then modeled on a large whiteboard with an example research question. After modeling how to break down a research question into major concepts and coming up with synonyms for each concept, students are asked to work independently on this.

Students use this worksheet to help them search for relevant articles on their topics.
