Researching Skills!

In reading and inquiry it has become very clear how important it is to be able to find and interpret information. 

We have been using websites and non-fiction stories, in our journals, to find information about a lot of different topics. 

But, how do you interpret information? 

What does interpret mean?

We discussed it and decided that interpret means to understand, but more than this, it means to understand, put into your own words, and use the information correctly. 

We have been doing this! 

In our reading we been identifying facts and important or relevant information. We have been brainstorming this information and sorting it into groups. When we sort it into groups we are able to use it to help us answer questions or in our writing.
