Started learning about the 6 steps of RBL. The 6 steps of RBL (Resourced Base Learning) are: Define, Locate, Select, Organize, Present, Evaluate. An easier way to remember that is DLSOPE.

Define: Locate: No matter what the resource or where it is, subject-specific keyword lists can really help you refine your search. Organize: Paraphrasing - when you paraphrase, you re-write what you've read in your own words using most of the key words from the text. Summarising - recording the key points from the text.
 * //Understanding the question//Read your assignment instructions Write the question in your own wordsIdentify key terms
 * //Use what I know//Brainstorm
 * //Background reading//Wikipedia Other resourcesRecording the details
 * //Develop keywords//Keywords are an effective way to research in library catalogues and online search engines. Use keywords to skim and scan text and now you can quickly decide whether the informtion you're lloking at is useful.
 * //Planning the final product//Assessment criteria - Teachers use assessment criteria to make sure they mark all students' work against the same standards
 * //Using keywords//
 * //Helpful sites & data bases//Specialised websites and databases can help to focus your research by looking at particular groups of resources instead of the entire web. They also limit your search by topic, miedia type or website format.
 * //Newspapers & journals//Newspaper and journal articles are really usful resources, particularly when you need information about specialised topic.
 * //People & organisations//people - talking to people in your community is one of the best ways to get unique material thata no one else will have access to.organisations - members of community organisations are usually keen to promote their cause and may even have information packs designed for students.
 * //Primary sources online//Sstate and nationaly libraries are now digitising rare and fragile documents and other printed material for online use.
 * //Library services//Public libraries make a lot of their information available online, so it's easy to reserve a book, access catalogues and search other libraries, without leaving your computer.
 * Recording quotes
 * Note-taking tipsread the text first to get the gist of it, then start taking notes on the second readonly record information that relates to your assignment questionUse headings in your notes, so they're easier to skim through laterUse dot points instead of full sentences and keep thenm short - one or two sentences is fineUse abbreviations or your own symbols for common words
 * Note taking stylesHighlighting and annotation Copy, paste, summariseOnline note taking applications


 * REMEMBER TO COMPLETE YOUR RESEARCH PROPOSAL**


 * Define ** areas **Research Proposal**
 * Outline initial ideas for research
 * Identifies how you considered, your topic
 * Explain your choice of capability and it’s relevance
 * Identify processes for working collaboratively
 * Methods of appropriate research processes (valid, ethical and manageable).
 * Develop a timeline

=**WEEK ONE**= In this week, i was only here for the double lesson. In this double lesson i created my own wikispace, with the help of my teacher. She then invtied me to her wikispace. we then had to find a group that we could work in. the members in my group are Danny, Hieu, Quy and myself, we had to find a topic of our choice and find a wonder wheel of it. but my group and i did not find a topic because only Danny and I were at the double lesson.

Goodjob Sonya, keep up the good work. Daveed

=WEEK SEVEN= in this week on monday, we got given a sheet "moon expedition". we had to get in a small group and choose 8 itmes that we would take to the moon, we also had to write why or why not we would take these items. in this doulbe lesson, my group and i have chosen to do "drugs" for our research project. we had got given a sheet that would try and help us plan out our main question. i think that this work sheet would really help us with our research project.

=WEEK EIGHT= this week of integrated learning, i had found my big topic, which is DRUGS. i have broken down drugs and found topics and questions that i would need to help me find my main question. -marijuana -what are the affects towards teenagers? -how available is it? -how is marijuana abused? -what are the affects of marijuana later in life? -can marijuana be addictive? -how does it affect the heart? -how does it effect the daily life? all these questions has helped me find out what i want my main queation to be, which is "how does marijuana affect a teenager and their life?"

**__ Integrated learning __** **__ Proposal __** For this integrated learning assignment Danny and I have chosen to do the topic on ‘drugs’. We had decided to do the topic drugs because on the media there have been many advertising of youth issues that the numbers have increased of young teenagers experiencing drugs and the effects of the drugs. I had wanted to do my topic on brand shoes such as, Tony Bianco and how they make the shoes etc. but Danny, Kian and Hieu didn’t want to. We had, had 4 members in our group Danny, Kian, Hieu and myself but Kian and Hieu drop from the group, so in the group now there is only Danny and I. Danny and I brain stormed ideas surrounding the topic to help us find our main question. We were aiming for many questions such as; These outline questions had helped us find out our final and main question which is; **‘How does marijuana effect a teenager and their life?’** To help us find information about this question we will do many researches on the internet about this topic. We will look up the short-term/long-term effect of the drug, the drug effects on the brain, the effects on the heart and the effects on the lungs. To get more information and answers we had also decided to make a survey about what other teenager’s think of marijuana and the effect they had felt when they were high. We will then post the survey on either one of our face book for our family and friends to give us a response on the drug of marijuana. After we have done these tasks we will be making a small brochure with contact numbers of drug counsellors that are either open 24hours. Danny and I capabilities was personal development. This reason is because we have had the opportunity to develop self-knowledge as we explore and practice our own preferred way of research on learning about the drug marijuana. As for working in a collaborative group Danny and myself had decided that I was responsible for typing up the proposal, making the survey and posting it on face book and also creating the brochure with contact numbers on it. Danny is charge of the research work he will gather information from the internet. I will be helping him by collecting the results from the survey and put it into a table so he can add it into the research. please log on to my survey monkey account because i can not print off the results. my username is; blobster95 password; pumpkinbum check it outttttttttt :)
