We are well into our project, having defined what we would like to do, now is the time to get the research work done.

Brainstorm all the possibles sources of information for your project. In the above example you can see (just about) that for a children's book we can go to book fairs to see publishers, writers and illustrators (my wife met up with many of these at the book fair in Tuyap, Beylikduzu (http://www.istanbulkitapfuari.com). The information from these would be helpful and can be a source that you would write about. You may meet up with experts that can help assess your work or give advice.
In short, this example shows we can use many different sources, such as interviews with experts (publishers, writers, illustrators, English teachers), book fairs, book shops, videos, websites etc.
You need to record all of your research work in your process journal, showing the information that you have found and how it relates to your project. Look closely at how valuable and reliable that information is and document this also in your process journal.
