Getting Organized
![]()
You'll need a way to keep all your ideas and information organized.
Here's an example of a table you can make in Publisher. You can sort the information you find into a table like this.
Here is an example of the first page.
|
Leadership |
Columbus |
Drake |
Magellan |
| 1. little question | |||
| 2. little question | |||
| 3. little question |
| You will need a page for each leadership quality. |
(Hint: Make one table and copy/paste it onto two more pages. Change the leadership quality and little questions on each of the new pages. Silver Beach students can find a ready-made table on the Pdrive/Explorers/table.pub . "Save as" to your Hdrive.)
Checkpoint: Show your table to your teacher for approval.
In the next module you will learn what it takes to be a thorough researcher.
