Key Stages of an inquiry

Picture
Picture

There will be 100s of times throughout your life that you will have to find information for a particular purpose. For example, you will not only do lots of projects and research tasks while you are at school, but also when you go to university or get a job. Sometimes it will be simple and quick (like finding a recipe for your favourite cookies, or booking a flight) but at other times it may be important things like buying a house, or preparing a major presentation for a client in your job.
Every time you do research  of some kind you will:
  • Have an information need;
  • Find information to satisfy that need;
  • Choose the BEST information from what you have found;
  • Apply or use that information in some way; and
  • Then decide whether the information you found was adequate and accurate for your needs.
Everything on this website is designed to help you become a MASTER RESEARCHER - a true 'explorer in the jungle of information'. Use the infographics on this page to stimulate your thinking around the inquiry process.

​There are five infographics on this page and they all 'sort of' say the same thing and yet look how differently they have been presented.  The way you present your thinking through things like graphic organisers can be very powerful.  Think about using something like this in your assignment.  Most of the infographics on this website have been created using a fantastic website called Presentermedia. There are 1000s of images, videos and multimedia templates available to choose from. Why not check it out.
