Finding your way through the 'jungle of information'

It's a jungle out there... a 'jungle of information' that is, and when you have to do a research assignment you have to make your way through  millions of resources online to find what you are looking for. The Research Safari is a map of a 'six stage inquiry process' that will help you to navigate your way through all of this information to find what you are looking for.
The Research Safari will help you to answer the following questions:
  • What am I being asked to do for my assignment?
  • What do I already know about the topic?
  • What do I need to find out?
  • Where am I going to get the information I need?
  • Which are the best websites to use?
  • How do I know that the information is accurate or 'authentic' (not fake)?
  • How am I going to organise my information?
  • ​What is the best way for me to present my assignment?
  • What am I being assessed on?
