What is the importance of research? Why do you need to know how to research? What have you learned in high school about researching topics and finding quality resources? Have you had a helpful teacher that has taught you to research? Explain.

The important of research is that after making an observation you have to know what you're looking at. The only way to start a project is to have an idea of what you're going to do then look up ways to do it. You need to know how to research in order to find a topic or just background information on that topic. Also you don't want to take information that was created by somebody and then plagiarize it. Using online sources such as databases to find real information made by professionals and then posted on the web so others can learn. Our science and ELA teachers for middle school had taught us MLA format and how to cite any sources.
