[|Big 6 Website]



Berkowitz and Eisenberg are the creaters of the Big6 website. This site has many cool links to organizers, planners, graphic organizers, note taking, and the "Big 6." The Big 6 includes: I wish that I knew of these big 6 research models in high school, it might have helped me become more organized and be aware of where I'm getting the information. We had these "Big 6" in some form or another, but it wasn't clearly stated or defined in the classroom. You just sort of had to know.
 * 1. Task Definition **
 * 2. Information Seeking Strategies **
 * 3. Location and Access **
 * 4. Use of Information **
 * 5. Synthesis **
 * 6. Evaluation **

This website would be helpful for teachers to help students become more organized and have a guide for research. The one thing that I don't like about this website is that whenever I click on a link, it starts to load, then says it's being aborted and shuts off. I don't know if it's my internet problem or a website problem, but this could pose a problem for teachers (and students) who are trying to access the site and are unable to do so because it's not functioning properly.
