Class-Information and Digital Literacy
we have read about two steps of the BIG6 model: task definition and information seeking strategies (CO1 & 2). complete Parts I and II.
Part I:
write one or two sentences per bullet point (there are additional questions and points to help you flesh our your ideas):
- Topic:
- Do not use something you have used for another class.
- The topic needs to be directly connected to your career field. Some students find this a good way to learn more about the requirements to enter the career they wish to pursue with their degree. Remember that it is not for a persuasive project. You must directly relate your topic to your career goals or your course of study.
- Scope and value:
- What is the scope of the topic and your research?
- What value does it bring to your professional life?
- Communication medium:
- How are you going to communicate your project?
- How will you make your presentation different and unique?
- Critical thinking questions:
- Pose different questions that will help you with your research and investigate your topic in more depth.
- Post critical questions that will push you to improve.
- Subtopics (optional).
- Brainstorming (optional).
Part II:
Part II is a reflective paragraph that represents your critical thinking process when thinking about possible sources and your research. You are NOT looking for specific sources now. Consider the best possible sources as presented in the week 2 Lesson. What types of sources will work best for your research? How can you support your project plan with credible, current, reliable, accurate, and relevant information? (We know you will want to use credible, reliable, accurate, current, relevant information. You need to tell what types of sources.)
