IOne way to organize the information you have gathered is to group materials by similar concepts or content. For example, when gathering information from the Web, it is useful to bookmark Web sites and organize them into folders.

Here is an example of bookmarked Web sites related to "Space" which have been arranged in folders.

Another way of organizing information is to create an outline. An outline arranges materials hierarchically and sequentially by identifying main topics, subtopics, and details under the subtopics. Outlines allow you to group materials by similar concepts or content and put them into a logical order.

For example, below are random notes taken on the topic "The Extinction of Dinosaurs." Organize the notes below into a meaningful outline. Click and drag the phrases to the outline. When you are finished click on the Check Answer button to see one possible answer.
