Thanks to all who made it in today. We had three very interested talks on some sources that are being used for reserach: two websites and one book. Thanks for doing these - they were focussed and well-structured.
One of the benefits in doing this type of activity is that we start to share information with each other.
At this stage, I'd like you to write up your talks using the questions I gave you. You've delivered an oral evaluation of a site or book. We now need to see how that looks as a written piece. I gave out an example today of the kind of thing I'm looking for. Again, a lot of what we are doing is associated with critical thinking.
Finally, I mentioned the SEC method for critical thinking. SEC stands for Statement-Evidence-Comment and it forces us to go beyond the general ("that's fantastic" or "that's crap") when communicating our thoughts about a piece of writing or, for that matter, a photograph (or, even better, anything really). I've put up a separate post on this (see post below).
