From this I had to identify how many were facts and how many were opinions:
Facts: 9
Opinions: 1
In a group we ended up with 67 facts and 13 opinions through our eight topics.
We then made a list of how we collected this research:
- Went to library & read books
- Went on the internet
- Watched videos
- Asked questions to people
- Applied/understanding on the subject which is already known
- Found images on the internet
Forms of source material gathered:
- Images
- Photographs
- Opinions
- Facts
- Dates
- Drawings
- Quotes
- Screenshots
- Observation notes
- Interviews, articles, photocopies
- Practical experiments/observation
- Clips, emails, interview
- Recordings
- Awareness of methods
- Review and evaluate
- New line enquiry
Problems faced during research:
- Time restraints
- No means to get the research
- Geographical restraints
- Expenses/costs
- Lack of interest
- Unreliable sources
- Organisation
- Legal restraints
- Too much time
- Dead people/past events
- Cooperation
- Outside limitations
- Lack of prior knowledge
How these could be addressed:
- Budgeting
- Find out people who have been - send emails to people who are there
- Find substitute locations
- Google maps - information on travel
- Prioritise & schedule - planning
- Go to a museum
- Speak to Relatives
- Films/documentaries
- Find an alternative
