(Big 6 is a process model of how people of all ages solve an information problem.)
STEP 1: TASK DEFINITION
Ask, "What's the task? What types of information do I need?"
Think about the final product you will need to create, and consider what special requirements you need to follow!
The Energy Campaign
YOU have been recruited by an energy company during the political campaign season to correctly inform the public about your energy source and how it can be the saver of our economy (financially, electrically, and environmentally) at the National Energy Caucus.
Your task is to Fully research your energy source making sure you include a detailed description, the pros and cons and today’s use of this source for electricity and an argument for why we need more of it. This will prepare you for creating a visual aid for a 5 minute presentation at the National Energy Caucus (the rest of class) providing them with the information needed to make an educated decision to vote YES to increase use of your energy source.
Remember, you only have two days before hitting the campaign trail, so you better get started and work together with your campaign staff!!!! Good Luck!
