Big6 Framework Overview

The Big6 Framework, developed by Mike Eisenberg and Bob Berkowitz, is an effective tool in researching, evaluating sources and applying these sources to in class tasks and assessable items. It is being used world over from Kindergarten to Year 12 to university and even above and beyond that. Big6 will be very useful in my discipline areas of Business and English. Both of these subjects require students to complete assessable items in which critical evaluation of research will be required. The Big6 allows for a breakdown of research tasks, to make it easier and more manageable for students and teachers.


Below is a table of how it works:
