Let's all look at the wikipedia page for giraffes.
We are going to have five minutes to read and decide on the key information on this page.
Then everyone will have an A3 sheet.  Chromebooks closed and we will write down everything we remember (timed: five minutes)

Then we will share our ideas with others around the room who we don't usually talk to.

We will then come together as a class and Zoe will scroll for Ms Quick as we analyse how the wikipedia page is set up.

We will look at footnotes and external links and talk about how we can use these in our research.
