Researching

It’s important to generate questions to guide your research and to use a variety of sources to find information.

How?

What?

Where?

1 Work in a group. Create four questions about each of these topics, using question words. 1 Mars: the red planet 2 How to get fit 3 Planning a class trip to a museum or other place of interest 4 Planning a new activity space for young people in your town 2

When?

Who?

Why?

What is the temperature on Mars?

How long is a day on Mars?

Where will you find the answers? Brainstorm sources of information to answer your questions.

Presenting your project 1

Work in a group. In what ways can you present your findings? Think of as many different formats as you can. Example: give a speech, create charts, project digital material

2 What advice would you give to a presenter about speaking to an audience? Example:  Don’t block the audience’s view of your visual aids. 3 When you are assessing the presentation of another group, which of these questions would you ask?

1 Was the content interesting and relevant? 2 Did they all stand up at the same time? 3 Was it well-organised (introduction, development, conclusion)? 4 Did the speaker speak clearly and loudly enough? 5 Were they all the same height?

6 Did they make eye contact with the audience? 7 Was the information mostly in their own words? 8 Did they make good use of visual aids? 9 Do they all live near to each other?

• Presenting: Encourage and support students to think of ways of using digital media (e.g. text, graphics, audio- visual and interactive).
