What was the first research assignment you remember ever having? Were you in elementary school, middle school, or high school? Exactly what grade were you in? What do you remember learning about the research process? What did you choose to write about or was a topic assigned to you? Did the teacher who gave you the assignment teach you about the research process? Or was it the school librarian? Or both? What sources do you remember using? Encyclopedias? Books? Articles? The Internet? Other sources? As you did with the last writing prompt, describe the research process you went through. Did you enjoy it? Hate it? Find it fun? Find it boring? Find it tedious?


The first research assignment I remember having was in the fourth grade. I had to choose a president and write an auto biography on that president. For the research process I remember spending a lot o time at the library looking through other biography books based on the president I chose. I do not remember which president I chose but I know that we had the chance to choose.

My fourth grade teacher was the one who taught us about the research project. I remember using books and he internet for this research project. I did not like the research process. Since I was in fourth grade this was a lot of work which I did no want to do. I found it being annoying but I eventually had to actually do it.
