Cheers Caroline Woud :) __**Term 4 Week 2**__ 20/10/10 Wednesday You should almost have finished your draft scaffold plan for your research Project Report as it is due this Friday lesson 5 after luunch. This is due by the end of week 2 this term.

__**Term 4 Week 1**__ I hope you all had a restful and invigorating break. By now you should have finished collecting your primary and secondary resources for your research. Now you need to begin writing your 800 word written report or your 2-3 minute oral muti modal presentation. Your Research should be ready to be presented in week 4 of this term. Week 5 will be Evaluation of your research process. I would like to see your draft report at the end of week 2 this term. Look at the example projects from last semester for models of how to structure your report. 2. Introduction to Research Methods - Dr. A.G. Picciano

Week 10 Term 3 You should now be immersed in your research locating different sources of information and evidence for your Research Report. This Includes a survey of peoples attitudes (as per week 9 instructions). You can also use __**Zoomerang**__ as an online survey tool. __**Facebook**__ is another online social networking site, that can be used to gather and collate information with friends and Groups. [] is another online survey tool that you might find useful. Interviewing guest speakers or experts is another excellent way to find information. By the start of next term you should have compiled enough Research information and evidence to begin your draft report. Remember to keep all work as evidence in a folder for internal moderation. Don't forget to do a journal entry this week as this counts towards Assessment. Samuel Rodd our Uni SA Research buddy will be in this Friday the 24/09/2010 if you have any questions for him.

__**Week 9 Term 3 **__ <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Focus on finding information and evidence for your Research questions this week and collate them in a folder. Remeber to include a variety of primary and secondary sources. This would include designing survey questions to identify different perspectives of your topic as a primary source. <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Things you need to consider when doing a survey inlude:

<span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Remember when you do your Research to keep a bibliography of your sources in a reference list. Use the Middle School bibliography online tool on the Schools homepage to assist you with this. This wiki is for our classmembers to discuss and reflect on the learning during during the Research Project. You need to keep a wiki page as a journal with a portfolio/ folder of evidence of learning.Your Journal must be updated weekly. The Journal is worth 30 % of the total mark so please learn how to edit and add to your page. Once you know how, you can hyperlink, add graphs, widgets, tables, links to video - very exciting to learn new ICT skills.

Week 10 Term 2
The Resource Based Learning (RBL) process__ We are in the process of: D L S O P E D= Definine L = Locate S = Select O = Organise P = Present E = Evaluate D = Define, L= locating and S= selecting - 1st 3 stages of DLSOPE and you should be thinking about what it is you want to P= present - how, to who, what for, what is new and interesting and informative about this topic?

Make sure you have a primary source, an expert, who you are going to interview, and that you have good questions for them. Remember the emphasis is on NEW information that you are genuinely curious about.

If you have any trouble with technology, please make a note in your journal - we will learn how to fix it - maybe - we will learn from each other.
