What Did They Do?

Worksheet Description

The “Research” worksheet is a simple and effective template for students beginning a research project on a notable individual. It directs the student to detail key pieces of information, starting with the name of the person they are researching. This foundational question sets the stage for a deeper investigation into the life and achievements of the individual in question.

Following the initial identification, the worksheet prompts students to uncover and record where the person is from, providing geographical and cultural context to their story. Next, students are asked to describe what this person did, which could include their accomplishments, contributions to their field, and any significant events or actions they are known for. Lastly, there is a space dedicated to citing sources, teaching students the importance of referencing the materials they used to gather their information. This encourages ethical research practices and helps students develop the habit of building a bibliography. The design of the worksheet is straightforward, making it an accessible tool for students of various ages and educational levels to organize their findings and thoughts systematically.
