SST: Inquiry Task 
You are going to conduct an inquiry. This inquiry will take place over the next 4-5 weeks. The topics will be surrounding the different controversies of the past Olympic Games. 

You will be selecting your own topic.

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

What is an inquiry?
An inquiry is another word for research. Typically you will have developed a topic or question that you want to find an answer to. For this inquiry, you have been given key questions to answer. 

The inquiry process allows you to explore and discover new ideas. 

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Researching steps
Step one: Find a resource - using the triangulation method

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Look for the information here: 


  • Library 
  • Youtube
  • EPIC - Username: naenaecol Password: 54naenae
  • Carrot 2 - https://search.carrot2.org/#/web
  • Duckduckgo - https://duckduckgo.com/?va=z&t=hc
  • NZ History - https://nzhistory.govt.nz/ 

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Triangulation
Using more than one source to support your research. This means not using the first result that Google.com shows you.

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Example: 
If the question I am trying to answer is:

Is a Dolphin a mammal?

I would look through three different (websites, videos, books) to find out the answer. Once I have seen the same information three times then I would include it in my inquiry. 

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Determine what kind of source am I using?


Is it a primary or secondary source?

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Primary vs Secondary source 
Primary Source = A piece of evidence created by someone at the time of the event e.g (speeches, diaries, academic research, interviews)
Secondary Source = Not the original but an overview of a particular event or person e.g (history textbooks, magazine articles, encyclopedias)
Watch the video to get a better understanding

Researching steps
Step one: Find a resource - using the triangulation method
Now I have found the information I need to check whether it's reliable 
Step Two: Check whether the source is reliable

Slide 16 - Tekstslide

Slide 17 - Video

Reliable sources
  • Is the purpose of the information to inform, persuade, sell, or even to entertain? (.org, .nz, .com)
  • Has the information been written and published recently? 
  • Does the date of publication appear? 
  • Finally, who is responsible for the information? 
  • Is an author or publisher listed at all?

Slide 18 - Tekstslide

Researching steps
Step One: Find a resource - using the triangulation method
Now I have found the information I need to check whether it's reliable 
Step Two: Check whether the source is reliable
Now you have reliable sources you have to paraphrase and construct paragraphs
Step Three: Construct information into paragraphs 

Slide 19 - Tekstslide

Writing effective paragraphs 
A good paragraph uses evidence to support the main idea. 

This could be quotes, paraphrasing, statistics or referencing a historical person or event.
