How do you search for information on the internet?

Well... I guess it depends for me. Sometimes I just type what I need into Google and choose reliable websites to find information, other times I just key in the websites that I know are reliable and have the relevant information. I also just type in key words to make sure I don't get anything that is not related to the topic.

What is the difference between a factual and an interpretive question?

The difference between between a factual and an interpretive question is that a factual questions has only one answer and it must be a fact. An example could be: "What is your favourite drink?", or "How old are you?". Interpretive questions are questions that have answers which are interpretations, but must be followed by an evidence. Another example could be: "Why do people believe in aliens?". These types of questions will help us with our research and the presentation itself, guiding us along.

ELP Shirt Designs

This is the shirt designs we are planning to do.

The back part of the t-shirt that we are planning to use. This is what the person who tries to save the child soldier going to wear.

The front part of the shirt

This is the general and child soldier shirt that we are planning to use. It is going to be the same for both sides. If we can't buy a shirt then we would have no choice but to try and paint it.

What is a question and how do you come up with questions for learning opportunities?

A question is something you want to know the answer to in order for you to progress. It is something that you ask that usually includes the 5 W's and 1 H. Ermmm... there are several different types of questions, factual questions, interpretive questions, analytic questions and many more. These types of questions have different uses, and each will help you find out more about the topic that you are doing.
