Bridge to Benchmark 4
For this bridge you will create a “Working* Works Cited” document as well as a “Working Outline” document to help guide and organize your research in Benchmark 4.
- Complete the steps below and have the bridge signed off by an IT teacher. -
* "Working” is a title that refers to documents that are “living” and will grow and change as your research develops.
Step 1) Assess your GQs.
Decide which ones are most relevant to your SDQ and are complementary to each other. Get rid of any GQs that don’t meet these standards. Make sure you are left with 1-2 GQs per person.

Step 2) Create a “Working Works Cited” document organized by your GQ’s.
Give a letter (of the alphabet) to each GQ. Below each GQ number and label each type of source (see example below). As you find or create promising sources, log them into the appropriate slot in this document. Model your Working Works Cited exactly after the example below. This will serve as both a link to your sources and a record with which to create your final MLA Works Cited document upon project completion.
* Post completed Interviews and Surveys to your group website and link to that document and/or audio file in your Working Works Cited

Important future information for notecard research:
On your notecards the Working Works Cited Numbers will be referred to by their letter and number. For example, the fourth GQ would be called “D” and the sources used in answering that GQ would be D1, D2, D3, and so on. Examples of notecards will be given in B4, the research Benchmark.

Step 3) Create a “Working Outline” document in Google Docs
* Begin by arranging all your GQ’s into the most logical order for answering your SD.Q. (Should GQ’s addressing background information come first? Where is the logical place to begin?)
* Give each GQ a Roman numeral, ranking questions in the most logical order.
* Under each GQ give your topics of research a capital letter (A, B, C...). Give an “A” to the topic you believe should go first, a “B” to the topic you believe should go second, and so forth. (This should all be added to your outline, indenting a bit from your left-aligned GQ Roman numerals. See examples below.)
* Throughout the research process you will be plugging information into the outline to help organize and guide your research

3. Make sure each document is shared with all members of your group.
