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.
Research is important because it backs stuff up. If I were to say that cold water boils just as fast or faster than warm water you would think I'm lying. Although if i had research from quality resources and told you that and explained it it wouldn't be bad. Research is important when you say something that might sound, but is true, people might make fun of you for it but then you throw all this research in their face and are like "ha told you so!" Because lets be real here, Saying "I told you so" is probably the best feeling in the world. There can be consequences though; say you use Wikipedia and it gives you the wrong answer, the person you're fighting with comes back with the right answer from a good website and you're just left there looking stupid. My middle school librarian, Mrs. Nocita did a very good job of teaching how to research using key terms and databases. So if you want to say "I told you so" research on quality websites.
