Big6 #4: Use of Information: What information can I use?
4.1 Engage the source (read, listen, view, touch)
- You will need to read, listen or view your source.
If you can’t understand any of your sources, ask an adult to help you. It’s OK not to understand something, but it’s not OK to avoid asking for help.
- You may not need to read, listen to, or view all material in each book, article, or website. You are looking for the specific information you need. Read the first sentence in each paragraph to decide if that paragraph has answers to your questions.
4.2 Take out the relevant information from a source
It’s time to take some notes!
