How to research.
The video below will remind you how to research using the internet or a book. Remember when you are given a topic to research we are looking for your ideas and understanding so put everything into your words. We can tell when someone has copied from a website and it doesn't show us what they have learnt.
Just to make sure you are watching carefully, Miss Griffin makes two typos/mistakes in the video. Can you spot them both?
