Research task: due September 4 2018

Student Instructions

Your aim is to present the information that you have found in relation to your question and explain why this information is important to you, to New Zealand and to the wider world.

You must hand in your highlighted texts, and notes, as part of your assessment

You can do this in either a written report OR by making a screencastify presentation in which you share your findings verbally

To be successful, use this checklist:

  • start by telling me what you already knew about your topic and why it interested you
  • explain the usefulness of your sources (did they help you answer your question? why/why not?)
  • summarise the information that you found (explain all of the information you found that relates to your question)
  • weave in specific quotes from your research to support your findings and to support your opinion on why your chosen 'first' is important
  • make clear links between your topic and the evidence you found (keep referring back to your original question throughout your presentation)
  • add your own personal opinion on the topic and the information you found (how did your understanding/opinion/thoughts on the topic change based on what you found out? how did your person change their society or the world? what can we learn from your research topic?)
  • evaluate your information and your topic (were your sources relevant and reliable? how do you know? what were the different points of view you found? was there any bias?)
