- Explain to pupils how to spot connections and links between different forms of information. Demonstrate the use of skimming, scanning, highlighting and note making as appropriate to different texts.
- Ask pupils to record the source of their information, whether it is relevant and whether or not it supports the presentation they are developing, along with any specific data on a topic. Once the pupils have had time to complete a number of searches, the information gathered can be drawn together and they can identify the range of viewpoints and the different statistics. Ask them to discuss some of the reasons for the differences,
eg inaccuracies, different methods of calculation, bias.
- Once pupils have found and copied some text they think is useful, discuss the key message to be presented. Illustrate how to search for a key word in the word processor, and how to highlight key phrases or information and copy and paste/move material into an order that will be helpful for the presentation. Pupils can then continue to investigate their own material.
