Big6 and Super3

[Janet Murray]

Participants in the October Task Definition webinar asked when we transition from the Super3 (Plan, Do, Review) to the Big6. The Super3 is a simplified version of the Big6 Skills designed for the youngest students. Mike mentioned pre-K to first grade as the target audience for Super3; Colet noted that Montana Standards transition from Super3 to Big6 between second and third grade.

Another participant asked how you would apply this in a mixed-ability classroom. It was suggested that posting a chart of the correspondence between Super3 and Big6; comparing the language could help students be able to self-assess where they are in the information problem solving process.

In our school, the challenge is acquainting students to the research process on the whole. the best strategy I found was helpful, was teaching them each part separately and then bringing it together as a whole in future lessons.
