ATL Statement:

In order for students to complete Crit Aii ( identify and prioritize primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem); they must locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media (including digital social media and online networks) by describing what they plan to research. What other main points of research will help them develop a solution to the problem. How will they will better understand their product and their target user? What tools, materials or processes do they need to learn in order to create the product? Prioritize the main points of research that they have identified (give relative importance to, or put in an order of preference). Finally, students will create a mindmap detailing all of the areas which could be investigated. From the resulting mindmap a table identifying Primary and Secondary areas of research can be developed. Each area of research can be categorised as: high, medium or low.
