What+does+a+Research+Folio+look+like?


 * The Folio is to be thought of as a collection of evidence of your research rather than a traditional "dear diary" journal. **

You must make **__regular__** entries in your Research Folio to show your weekly progress and research development. Entries once a week would be the minimum to receive a passing grade. To pass well, you should make entries into your Research Folio as often as you can.


 * We don't want to see a Folio entry that reads "today I went to a website and found it quite useful"
 * We would rather see the download of the website page, with your scribbles, highlights, and notes on it telling us what is interesting, what is useful, and what you would like to learn next.
 * Remember your teacher is not walking a step behind you while you are researching, but they need to be able to follow the steps that you have taken in your research, and be able to learn what you have learned.

Your Folio may be in the form of a scrap book, online web page, folder with plastic pockets, folder with pages holepunched. We are not expecting that everything is typed in the same font, and presented like the exemplars. These have been prepared to fit on A4 pages and are formatted for the purpose of being uploaded to the SACE Board website.

**Your Journal/Folio should contain all your your data, documents, articles, photos, magazine articles, interview transcipts, survey results, graphs, as well as your:**
 * **reflections**
 * **evaluations**
 * **thoughts about usefulness**
 * **thoughts about where to next**
