Once students analyze and organize information, it is time to begin putting it all together. Using their newfound information and knowledge, students need to summarize what they have learned as it relates to the overall tasks identified and the questions formulated. It is also important that students recognize they may have existing knowledge about the subject. Document sources using appropriate formats. Ongoing evaluation by revising and updating the product.
Students now turn their attention to producing an end product with their information and knowledge.
An important step in teaching this skill is to show students examples of well-done final products. These may be reports, drawings, oral presentations, or multimedia products. One of the final steps in any product is to document where the information was found. Using a bibliography format, students can record the Web site addresses, the name of the site, and other important information such as who is sponsoring the site. Since there is no one correct way of referencing Web sites at this point in time, it is up to you to figure out what type of information is important to you to have students provide.
