Big6 is a six-stage model to help anyone solve problems or make decisions by using information. Some call it information literacy, information communication, or ICT skills, or a process, but we call it the Big6.

The Big6 information literacy process is completely transferable to any grade level, subject area, or workplace. Big6, state and national instructional standards, and your curriculum all work together hand-in-hand. I've been thinking a lot about developing citing/creditng skills among elementary students. We also talk about having the very youngest begin to learn citing by using rubber stamps or stickers to give credit - BookComputerPeopleMe.

Let me let you in on a little librarian research secret: finding information at branches and online isn't hard (anyone can do it). In fact, in this digital age of online databases, Google and Wikipedia we are on information overload. We are surrounded by too much information actually. So how do librarians research? What do we know that you don't? Well, we know how to evaluate information, dissect it, analyze it, reassemble it and put it to use effectively. "The Big6 Skills" process isn't a shortcut. Step 1: Defining the Assignment or Project What is it exactly your teacher wants from you? Step 2: Research Strategizing and Planning Now that you understand the assignment, have chosen your topic and written down what you need to find out, you must decide how to go about finding the information you need.
One key to good research are good keywords. Tip: An online library database is always preferable to a Googled website. *A quick word on Wikipedia. Step 3: Location, Location, Location. Diana's Blog. After the great kick off to our biography unit that Mary Dodson Wade gave us, we looked at several of her biographies along with a handful of others.
The students were asked to read and fill in a graphic organizer, also taking note of how the information was presented (one was in verse) and point of view. We then discussed what we wanted to include in our biographies. It was time for the students to start choosing the person they wanted to research. All of our middle school students are completing this project. The Grades 5 & 6 students were required to choose a person of note from the Revolutionary War. I started out by putting up a list of 20 or so notable people from the revolutionary War. Next the students scoured their textbooks for information; I wanted them to practice using the index, a skill they all need to improve. The students then went back to their textbooks to fill in the K-W Chart from their Big6™ Research Notebooks.
