An explanation of how and where information appears and is published over time, using two different topics
as research examples.
- Historical Context: before something happens, the world surrounding it sets the stage.
- Something happens: an event, such as an election, disaster, discovery, publication of a work, or the
performance of a play.
- Or something develops: a movement, an era, an idea, an ideology, or a religious belief that significantly
affects many people for a time or continuously, such as the women's suffrage movement, the beginning of Christianity
or Buddhism, the development of a democracy, or the Information Age.
- Days or weeks afterwards: informal discussion and sharing occurs.
- Months or years afterwards: formal discussion and documentation of evidence is created, disseminated,
and in many cases added to over time.
- Finding sources: methods of finding information sources are described.
