We have talked a bit about what you need to do and how to get started.
1. Find a cooperating teacher
2. Open a Google Document:
Page 1 - type INVESTIGATE;
Page 2: type 1. Identify the Product, 2. Develop A Design Brief
3. Write 5 or 6 questions that will help you solve your problem. (Such as: What is a teaching aid? How do children learn best? Examples of existing teaching aids (gather information and ideas). Research your topic. What tools/programmes can be used?)
To be successful:
formulate and discuss appropriate questions (at least 5) that guide the investigation - this means that you should create questions and then do research that will help you solve the problem
- identify and acknowledge a range of appropriate sources of information - use in-text referencing and create a bibliography
-collect, analyse, select, organize and evaluate information - this deeper analysis of your research will lead to higher marks
-evaluate your sources of information- who are your sources? are they appropriate? are they experts in the field?
According to the assessment rubric. . .
To get a 1/2: The student investigates the problem, collecting information from sources.
To get a 3/4: The student investigates the problem, selecting and analysing the information from some acknowledged sources.
To get a 5/6: The student critically investigates the problem, evaluating information from a broad range of appropriate acknowledged sources.
Learning objectives: independently identify meaningful questions, carry out web search, select and organize appropriate sources and evaluate them.
