When doing research you need to keep a few things in mind. You need to remain organized. This also means having an idea of how you will present your argument when you report it. You also need to think about what research you need and don’t need. Primary sources  are sources that a first hand accounts of events or research done by the person. Secondary sources are made by using primary sources to make an argument. You also need to decide which ones are trustworthy. one you have done that you need to summarize your findings. Finally you must always make sure to cite your sources.

This relates to class as we are finishing up our work on our field work. The field work is a primary source, but we still need to work on organizing it and making a good argument based on the conclusions we find. Then we will need to organize that in our write up with all our other sources. We need to make sure all our research fits together nicely like described in this section.
