LP week 1

Goals

•        I will identify a relevant local issue: what problems affect my local community?
•        I will collect relevant information about this issue: what research methods can I use and what questions should I ask?
•        I will evaluate data: what biases can I identify and how reliable are my sources?
•        I will analyze information: what causes the problem and which consequences need to be considered when finding a suitable solution for this problem?
•        I will organize my research in a graphic organizer: how can clearly communicate my research conclusions?
•        I will reflect on my research process: what have a I learned and what can I do differently/better next time?
