Norfolk Public Schools - Ellen Bailey
This book uses the topic of the Industrial Revolution to demonstrate how to do a research project. This book’s topic is more about conducting research than about the Industrial Revolution. The research theme is consistent throughout and includes such details as how to cite sources in a bibliography. Very useful. – Ellen Bailey, Azalea Gardens Middle School <i>Norfolk Public Schools</i>3/25/2010

Discusses ways of researching and writing about the Industrial Revolution, including how to find sources, organize facts, and narrow a topic, and includes an overview of the subject. The book explores logical, sequential methods for doing research and for writing about the Industrial Revolution. –Kelly Green <i> Clark County School District Library Services</i> 6/1/2010

This title is part of Heinemann Library’s Research It! series. This book is as much about how to research a topic, as it is about the Industrial Revolution. Those students looking for information about the Industrial Revolution would be better served by a selection that includes more content and analysis on the topic. However, for those students who still need to develop researching skills, the format of this selection could be helpful. –Polly Walton, Swift School <i> Arlington Independent School District </i> 4/18/2011

This is an interesting combination book. It is unlike any I’ve seen before. The book that illustrates how to write a research paper by using a topic that many students would be using for assignments. By using the topic of the Industrial Revolution, the author illustrates the steps a student should use in writing a paper. It begins with a definition of Research. Succeeding chapters describe: an Overview of the subject, Finding and organizing facts, Narrowing a topic, Checking sources, Primary source material, Further evidence (secondary sources), Forming an opinion, and Presentation. An appendix includes suggestions on how to look at advanced research. The author provides open-ended suggestions on the research process. A collateral benefit to using this book is that it provides quite a bit of information on the Industrial Revolution. –<i>Omaha Public Schools</i> 11/30/2011
