Then as we read the notefact, the kids say which category the fact goes with and we hand the fact to the child to put into the envelope. = =Here is a sample of the notefacts organized from a research project on wild turkeys: = = = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">If you use the chart paper method for taking notefacts, you can cut the paper apart and read the notefact and then have the kids glue the notefacts to another large chart with the categories already written on them. = =Here is a sam​ple:= =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Now we are ready to create our product! = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> = =<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> =
