Description

Two sessions on the order of operations in research — the map your student needs before any of the individual skills.

Question, search, organize, cite. One worked example runs the whole way through, showing exactly how a vague topic becomes an answerable question, then a search, then organized notes, then a properly cited piece of writing.

It stays deliberately brief on search mechanics and citation format — both get full units of their own. This one is about sequence, and about the step everyone skips: citing as you go rather than reconstructing sources three weeks later.
