The Big Six is an information seeking strategy developed by Michael B. Eisenberg and Robert E. Berkowitz that assists students in information problem solving. Teachers and librarians would greatly benefit from this organization tool to get students organized BEFORE they begin their research. Once students have their topics for research, they are able to use the Big Six strategy to guide them through their research.

There is another version of the Big Six for elementary called: Plan, Do, Review.

This resource provides excellent examples or "higher-level" or "essential" questions. Check out the article by McKenzie that looks at the differences between trivial, meaningless questions and those that truly encourage students to use critical thinking skills.

I do liek this article. It reminds us that just asking questions of students is not enough. I also thought that the web was also helpful for a visual representation of the information. It does also tie-in with our class as it strongly relates to UbD, as the essential questions can guide your development of lessons and units.

This site hosts high quality photos for the airline industry. The sections i utilize in class is the rejection guide. They give many great examples and explanations for why photos get rejected based on composition and quality. The examples are high quality and contain many unique and creative shots.

Very useful site for students to review the types of shots and see examples of them. Thanks!
