The final step is to share your work with the world. How can you use the information you’ve researched and written to
help people appreciation and prevent pests from impacting their lives?
Put Your Paper in Final Form
A research paper is best presented in a specific format.
Your paper should have:
- a title page
- an introduction (step 8)
- paragraphs with topic sentences (step 9)
- conclusion (step 9)
- bibliography (that’s next)
Make a Bibliography:
Don’t forget to give credit where credit is due. Get one last page of paper and write down each source you’ve used.
You should then list all your sources, as well as where and when you got them. That’s called a citation.
For example, you might have used the “wasp” entry from PestWorldforKids.org:
"European Hornet". PestWorldForKids.org. October 15, 2008
- Put quotation marks around the entry's title: "European Hornet". Then put a period.
- List the website's URL address.
- Finally, write down you accessed the site.
Share:
You’re done with your paper! All that good and hard work shouldn’t just sit on a shelf or in your backpack! Figure out
how might you share the information with the world.
Consider your potential audience and your purpose. Sometimes a book is the best, other times a simple poster will
work.
It all depends on these factors:
- Do you want to provide in-depth information or just one or two important ideas?
- How old is your audience?
- How much time do they have to learn your information?
- Where is your audience located? What is the best way to reach them?
One way to share you paper is to make a PSA. You'll find instructions in the "PSA" lesson.
