information by using the REST method as follows:

1. Write down your research TOPIC or tentative TITLE.

2. R – read two different sources about a topic and record ideas.

3. E – edit notes and combine concepts that are similar.

4. S – synthesize by combining notes with what you already know about the topic.

5. T – think about your new ideas and connect them to what you already know.
While practicing REST, some of you may like to draw pictures while others may refer to write
notes. As long as you are recording the information, you are allowed to process the information
the way that works best for you. [5 points]
