=Welcome to Your Research Project Wiki= [|5 tips for writing interview questions] Writing questions for an interview can be tricky. It is important that you know the right questions to ask and how to ask them. Structuring of the interview questions is also important. The following are five simple tips to help you write [|interview] questions.

An interesting site I have just come across is __**Newsmap**__. http://newsmap.jp/#/n/au/view/

It allows you to view key new stories as they are reported in a number of countries and to view coverage of world, national, business, technology, sports and entertainment.

By selecting Australia – I can then search for media coverage on Indonesia for example.

__**Letter for consent to interview or survey**__ a person for the Research Project is provided in the word file below. [|LetterRP survey.doc]

__**Discussion**__ will begin this week. Ensure you have booked an appointment time with me to hand up a 1 page written discussion or to record a five minute discussion. Use time this week to look at some online examples of folio work at the SACE web site link below. This will help as a model of how to record your own research key findings in your folio work.SACE web site

Week 5 Annotating articles you have read. When you research you will need to make notes on your articles, to demonstrate you have read, summarised and analysed your work to produce key findings. You can simply high light and make hand written notes on your page, or use sticky notes to summarise key findings.Another way is to copy and paste the article into word and in the review tab at the top of the page, insert a "New comment" where you can make comments in a text box at the side of the page. __** Useful Resources **__Australia's original search engine.

1. Thank you to all the students who handed in their Research proposals on time. If you still have not handed it in could you please email it to my school email account caroline.woud@woodvillehs.sa.edu.au

2. Remember you need to upload your Research proposals to your wiki page, or email them to me at my address above To do this go to Edit your page/ File upload / browse / select document / upload / save.

===‍ 3. Let me know on your wiki pages if you are doing Research Project A or B. === You can do this by copy and pasting one of the A or B options below. // **Research Program A:** Evidence of learning for the final evaluation can be in one or a combination of written, visual, or oral modes. // // **Research Program B**: For students who intend their Research Project to contribute to their Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER). Evidence of learning must be presented in written form to meet the common written assessment component. //

4. As you find more information on your topic you can refine your concept map to include this information.

5. Now you are ready to develop your research by completing the following tasks and record them electronically on your wiki journal page/ Research Development. **Assessment Type 1, Folio: Part 2 – Research Developmen**t 1. Conduct and develop research 2. Collate evidence of research e.g. · Readings notes · Drafts · Diagrams · Letters · Emails · Interview notes · Record of online search · Logbook entries · Field work · Dated and captioned photos · Graphs · Surveys and survey data · Calculations · Feedback from sources · Translations 3. Evidence of Capabilities development 4. Opportunities and barriers and responses Ongoing reflection on learning and research processes.

Surveys You should now be immersed in your research locating different sources of information and evidence for your Research Report.This Includes a survey of peoples attitudes.You can also use__[| **Zoomerang**]__ as an online survey tool. Facebook is another online social networking site, that can be used to gather and collate information with friends and Groups. [] is another online survey tool that you might find useful. Caroline Woud Teachercaroline.woud@woodvillehs.sa.edu.au OHS&W Announcement OHS&W Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare legislation states that before we commence any new activity we need to do a RISK ASSESSMENT on it first. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">This would be looking at what safety measures are required and what contingency/ emergency plans do we have if something might go. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Please see me before you begin activites for the appropriate RISK ASSESSMENT forms to complete.Ms Woud :)

If you have any trouble with technology, please make a note in your journal - we will learn how to fix it - maybe - we will learn from each other. Located on the Intranet homepage, under online courses / Middle School Bibliography. Research topic:
