PLAN Planning means that students are engaging the topic or assignment and deciding what they want to know about the topic and /or information they need for their assignment.
Students will ask themselves such questions as:
What do I need to do?
What’s my assignment? What’s my research topic?
What are the questions I need/want to answer?
What information do I need to answer my question? What information do I need for my research topic?
What will the finished project look like?

ACT As students ACT on their plan, they must prioritize their list of possible sources of information, find those resources, engage the resources to extract the relevant information and then evaluate the information for credibility, authority, and relationship to the topic or assignment.
Students will ask themselves such questions as:
What search strategy will work best for each information source (e.g., book, online encyclopedia, web site)?
Now that I’ve found some information what do I do with it?
How do I decide what I need from everything I’ve found?
