Using Multiple Sources
Draw on information from multiple print or digital sources, demonstrating the ability to locate an answer to a question quickly or solve a problem efficiently
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
Efficient research starts with a precise question, then uses each source’s navigation tools. Headings and an index locate print information; search terms, find-on-page, and links locate digital information. Multiple sources can contribute different parts of an answer.
Spend 15 minutes answering one focused question by locating information quickly in one print source and one digital source.
