My UnGoogleable Research for an Eight-Year Old

I am writing about football players and coaches and how they get paid.  The first part of my paper is about the money that football players in the NFL are making for playing. I would be talking about the different positions and skills.  Another part of my paper is about NFL coaches and the money they get from coaching the teams. The coaches get more money than the players because of what they know. The last part of my paper is about the things that make up how these people are paid.  Their ability to convince the teams’ owners to pay them more is part of how they are paid.  My topic is important because people should learn about why and how players and coaches are paid and what makes the NFL different from other sports groups.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Highlighting Reflection

Reading and highlighting the sources helped me to take notes by saving the information. I learned how to find good websites for my paper and to use my highlighting as notes. I can break my information into three sections. One section is about the salaries of NFL players. Another section is the pay for NFL coaches. The third section is what positions are paid the most. My next step to write a research paper should be to put my information in order by topic.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection

Today in class, I looked at different websites that could help me with my research paper. To search for websites, I used Sweet Search, IPL2, and Google’s Wonder Wheel and Timeline. When I found a website related to my focus question, I made sure it had a title, an author, and a date. I knew some of the websites I found were unacceptable because they didn’t have authors or dates, had a lot of advertisements, and did not tell where the information came from. I know the websites I selected are good because it told me how much NFL players and coaches were paid. Tomorrow, I expect that Ms. Priester will tell me to write an outline about what my paper will be about.

UnGoogleable Research – What I Already Know

My focus question is "Do NFL players deserve to be paid millions of dollars". I think NFL player should get paid lots of money because they play football in front of millions of people that pay lots of money to watch them. I already know that NFL players work there butts off to be in the NFL. So that's why they should get paid lots of money. I also know that people pay lots of money to watch them play football. Additionally they earn to play the sport football. By doing research, I hope to learn why NFL players get lots of money.

UnGoogleable Research Paper – Website Evaluation Tips

I asked three people about what makes a website a good resource to help me when I need them in my research. First, I asked Jared S.  He told me that a good website cites professional resources and has professional answers. I also asked Ms. Amonette, and she told me that a good resource is reputable (has a good reputation). The other adult I asked was Ms. Ursprung.  She said that a good resource has a good academic background and uses sources related to the topic. The advice given to me will help in writing a better research paper so I can find resources that are more educational.
