Research skills - 2 lessons to teach students how to research any topic

Two engaging and resourced hour-long lessons to teach students how to approach Internet research and identify reliable sources of information. This is applicable to any research topic and is suitable for key stage 3 or key stage 4.

Students will learn how to:

• Identify relevant research questions.
• Critically analyse the strengths and weaknesses of various sources
• Identify key words to use in search engines
• Choose what information to write down.

This resource includes:

• A Powerpoint for two lessons including teaching and printing instructions
• Worksheets/printouts for each lesson (included as part of the PowerPoint).

I have included an example use for the Holocaust, however the slides can be easily adapted to suit any relevant research topic. I have used these in my English lessons but they could be adapted to work in any subject which requires students to complete independent research.
