= Me! = 1. Using the[|Research Cycle], decide on the first three steps:


 * Question ||  identifying and listing the questions you want your students to explore ||
 * Plan ||  developing a strategy to find pertinent information rapidly ||
 * Gather ||  harvesting information which casts light on the key questions ||

2. Create a [|Tumblr] account and create a public "Tumblelog" with an appropriate URL.

3. Select "Customize" link and set up your "research project" look and feel (Info, Theme, and Appearance).

4. From the "dashboard", include: --Text (this will be the questions you want the students to explore and the structure of the research assignment). Be sure to include the detailed requirements of the research project; --Photo (appropriate to the project or subject); --Quote (appropriate to the project or subject); --5 websites links with a brief annotation; --Audio inclusion (no music necessary).

5. Create a Shelfari account and populate it with at least five books that kids might use in their project.

Once you are done, wrap it into a lesson, and copy and paste the code into your wiki.
