The Big Six

When first reading this article the idea of a student writing a research paper came to mind. But as I got further into the piece I realized that these six steps are steps in preparation for a teacher's lesson. It is true that a student can also use these same steps and they should, but if a teacher wants to make the difference it is vital that they follow these steps. For the first step a teacher needs to know what needs to be accomplished followed by what is going to be used. Is a video sufficient or is some other form of motivation required to catch the attention of the students. Although the internet is a very good source, just like the article said, it can be irrelevant from case to case. Some things on line would definitely teach the main idea, but sometimes it doesn't help with a certain age of student or certain culture or whatever. From there a teacher needs to put all the information together that was found and the hard part is figuring out if this information will do the job. If a teacher keeps on top of things this won't be a difficult step at all.
In conclusion, if you are to teach the students to be able to solve problems that you give them, it is important that you know how these steps work so you can teach them how to follow them.
