My UnGoogleable Research for an Eight-Year Old

My focus question is "how did Audrey Hepburn make fashion popular."My three similar questions are: "did anyone help her reach her success." and another on is "how did she influence the world." I think it’s important to know this information because to me I'm really into fashion from the old days. Also, it can define who you are by the way you dress. People say that fashion isn't important because its impossible to get away from. Also, its really one of those things that start as a hobby then turned into a job etc. etc. and now it controls everything.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Highlight Reflection

Reading and highlighting the sources for my UnGoogleable research paper didn’t help me because while using awesome highlighter some of my websites that I used wouldn't work. One thing that I did learn was to skim through my websites so that I can highlight the important parts.  I can break my information into three sections. One section that if anyone helped her choose her outfits. Another one is if she likes to be a fashion icon. Lastly, is if she liked dressing up. My next step to write a research paper should be to sort out all the information and put it in order.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection


Today in class I looked up diverse websites that could help me to get ready for my research paper. To search for websites, I used Qwiki, Sweet Search, True Knowledge, Hakia, World book, iSEEK, and Google wonder wheel. When I found a website related to my focus question, I got really excited because it could help me understand my focus question a lot better. I knew some of the websites I found were unacceptable because they showed many pop up ads, and I could tell that it was written poorly. I know the websites I selected are good because it was exactly what I needed to answer my focus question. Tomorrow, I expect that Ms. Priester will tell me to write a brainstorming chart, or outline.

UnGoogleable Research – What I Already Know

My focus question is "How did Audrey Hepburn make fashion popular?" I already know that ballet flats, capri pants, and little black dresses with white gloves were very popular because she brought in style back in the 1940-50's. Also, "The Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund" was founded after her death to carry on the things she believed in. She had a husband, Mel Ferrer after 14 years of marriage they divorced. She had a son named Sean. Furthermore, she was honored with a U.S postage stamp. Also, she wasn’t all that good at singing she sang “Moon River” in the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” By doing more research I hope to learn more about are her quotes. -“People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed.”

UnGoogleable Research Paper – Website Evaluation Tips.

How can you tell if a website is a good resource for writing a research paper?

“You can tell if it good by the way it’s used and if they post good reviews.” –Emilia

“Using anything with .org and gov. anything that has references.”-Caroline

“It has lots of spam and the way its design cheaply.” -Brook

The advice that these people have given me is useful because it helps me figure out good info from bad info. Also to compare wether the material is good by being similar to my other sources. The website can as well give additional recourses such as books, newspaper articles, etc.
