Note: you may use any survey tool you wish. Here is one: www.fluidsurveys.com

1) Start with narrowing down your topic so that you can limit to about 5 docs.

2) Highlight key phrases from each 3) Create a rough bulleted summary for each4) Look at all the points and determine how to

5) For this project, organize the groups into these three categories:

a) Key ideas and how do they support each other? b) What are the controversies? c) What are the ‘holes’ in the research?
