Warm up with the method
Warm up with the method generally applied to the topic
Students brainstorm the general ethical, practical and theoretical issues you may encounter when researching this topic with this method… I think it’s good to be as open-minded as possible early on… It’s easiest just to get them to do this on paper.
Do a plan applying the method to the specific details in the item
I use an A3 sheet for this, with the item and question in the middle, students now read the item.
Write a detailed flow-chart
Repeat stage two with a different topic, to emphasise the difference in answers for the same method applied to a different topic
DO NOT go over the whole process again, once is enough!
