For a first grade research project, Dot asked:

Here are my thoughts:
Barbara Jansen's School Library Media Activities Monthly article is a good
start for Trash N' Treasures notetaking. It can be found at
http://www.lubbock.k12.tx.us/InformationFluency/Trash&Treasure/reading_for_information.htm
A graphic organizer for note taking proves more helpful for the little ones
than note cards. In a project about animals, for instance, the organizer
might simply have "bubbles" for the five key questions being asked with
limited space for responses (thus reinforcing your TNT note taking method).
At first grade, I think that author and title are adequate bibliographic
information (or just title in the case of multivolume unauthored reference
books). I'm curious to hear other opinions on this one.
Best,
Toni
