There's More Than One Way to Skin a Cat

We started looking at other ISP models.  The Big6 was a big hit.  It seems to work because it is simple, it is skills-based (something to DO), and it is easy to remember.  Condense it to the Super 3 and it's even easier (PLAN, DO, REVIEW).  Even this visual learner can remember three steps!  BTW, they must have heard our complaints about their site as it has been redesigned.  While it looks better, I'm not sure it's more useable.  This is the link I will use most:

There are so many other models as well KWL, Handy 5*R, I-Search....I looked into Yucht's FLIP IT! model and found it very easy to remember and adapt.

All the models seem to direct one through basically the same process.  Try one out, see what fits!
