Integration and Who Can Help

• Integration comes easy because of the structure and flexibility in this research tool. To integrate into your plans you can collaborate with your teacher-librarian to teach skills why you are both teaching content. You will be amazed at how fast your students learn a new skill while learning in your direct content area.

Learner-Centered

• Big6 and Super3 is all about being leaner-centered in the way it requires students young and old to use information and technology effectively and focus on the process as well as the content. Students will become life-long learners and independent thinkers. This type of tool really allows us to prepare our students for the 21st century.

Why Big6 and Super3 are so Great

The process is integrated with the curriculum they are already going to learn. It allows them to learn at a deeper level about the topic. There are many skills being developed throughout the process (research, writing, reading, evaluating, problem solving, cooperative learning).
