Pick up this packed book, with over fifty activities that involve students in manipulating and organising data as well as making connections with information across all subject areas.
Each single page task focuses on a micro skill that makes an ideal mini lesson.
The tasks are organised around four major areas of information literacy:
- evaluating information for relevance and validation
- sorting information to make connections
- working with information and testing ideas
- analysing and synthesising information for meaningful conclusions.
Plus over thirty student organisers are included, which actively involve students in important strategies for using information.
