In this unit pupils use a variety of search mechanisms to explore the potential of ICT-based information sources. They research a topic and prepare a presentation for a specific audience. They use websites and CD-ROMs as their main sources.
They explore a range of types of information, such as statistics, legislation and advertising campaigns, and make judgements about the purpose of the information and the viewpoint of the organisation that produced it.
Pupils are given a framework for their research. They aim to answer specific questions and refine and organise their information as required.
The topic of the presentation is chosen by the teacher. It may be on any subject and could be controversial, but should be one that allows different interpretations and viewpoints.
This unit is expected to take approximately 5 hours.
