About this worksheet

Writers use books, websites and other tools to find information, and they write down where each piece came from, so the final piece can name its sources and be shared with an audience. Good notes are short and each one has a source. On this fifth grade sheet a child gets one research question and records four kinds of notes on labeled lines: a fact, a definition, a number or statistic, and a quote, each with its source.

Each version has a different question, and the grown-up checks that every note answers the question and has a source.

What your child will learn

  • Take notes from a source
  • Record where each note came from
  • Find a fact, a definition, a number and a quote
  • Plan a piece to share with an audience
