Learning in the Library 

In our library lessons, student are learning how to research.  These skills include clarifying a question to ensure understanding of what is being asked and linking this to existing knowledge, as well as locating relevant information, presenting that information in the best format for the audience and finally reflecting on the research task to ensure that the question has been answered and identifying any ways in which their research could be improved in future. 

This term the focus has been on locating information.  Students have evaluated websites to ensure the information they are collecting is timely, relevant, accurate, who the author is and the purpose of the website.  They have also discovered the best ways to navigate around a website to locate information.  Finally, students have used sample texts and videos to locate information related to specific questions. 

Next term our focus shifts to the presentation of their findings.  Students will still use all steps of the research process, however it will be the final product that is the focus of new learning.
