Reuven shares how the Big6 is integrated into geography and history project-based assignments for high school students.

Big6 #1: Task Definition: What do I need to do?
1.1 Define the information problem
| - What does your teacher want you to do? Make sure you understand the requirements of the assignment. - Ask your teacher to explain the assignment if it seems vague or confusing. - Restate the assignment in your own words and ask if you are correct. |
1.2 Identify the information you need in order to complete the task (to solve the information problem)
| - What information do you need in order to do the assignment? Your teacher will often tell you what information you need. - If he or she does not, it will help to write a list of questions that you need to look up.Let’s say your assignment is to do a report on a foreign country, and you choose Portugal.
These questions can be used as a place to start. You may find additional information that is not included in your original question. |
