This document outlines a 4 stage process for gathering and analyzing information. Stage 1 involves saturating the brain with information through activities like brainstorming, mind mapping, and think-pair-share. Stage 2 develops questions and decides how to respond through visits and discussions. Stage 3 explores further to develop a big question, conduct research, interviews and analysis. Stage 4 interprets how to use the information by inferring and formulating conclusions using thinking strategies and charts.
