= Big6 #2: Information Seeking Strategies: What can I use to find what I need? = = = = =

**2.1** Determine the range of possible sources (brainstorm)
- encyclopedia -books -internet!!!

**2.2** Evaluate the possible sources to determine priorities (select the best sources)
best/more sources!

Big6 #4: Use of Information: What information can I use?

**4.1** Engage the source (read, listen, view, touch) -We read to information about Biomass in the sources we find. -We listen to the voice in the sources we find....well IF there is any voice! -We quick scan/view web pages to see if it is educational and appropriate for our Alternative Energy Project! -We cannot touch, sorry!

**4.2** Take out the relevant information from a source It's time to take some notes!
