=Annotated Works Consulted=

Cite your sources with NoodleTools.

Create digital note cards for your resources using NoodleTools.
 * Complete the direct text card and make sure your answer is related to your research question.
 * Paraphrase information on your notecard in the paraphrase card.
 * Organize your digital notecards in a logical manner.

Annotate your notecards:
 * Your annotation should contain information about why this was a good, useful and truthful source to answer your research question and why it passes the C.R.A.P. test.
 * Your notecards should contain the information from each source that answers your research question.

=Products= You may choose to share your new found knowledge in any manner that works for you. You might think about making an Educreation, ShowMe, iBrainstorm, a Bookabi story, lino, or a T-Chart. Many other iPad technologies could be used to teach what you know to your class. Your final project will depend on what you researched. Your product should help answer your research question and last 2-3 minutes as a presentation to your class.
