 * //The Big6 in Secondary Schools//** by Michael Eisenberg

Positives
 * Very well organized
 * Takes you through the process with good examples
 * Easy to read
 * Tables with different technology skills and which step of the Big6 students would be using
 * Talks briefly about evaluating websites
 * Gives teachers clues on which areas of the curriculum are better suited for the Big6
 * Discusses assessing student projects with suggestions to help build rubrics
 * Chapter for each step
 * Stresses that synthesis is creating a product not necessarily a formal written paper
 * Lessons that teachers can do with students as an introduction to each step in the Big6 process

Negatives
 * Book focuses on using search engines rather than subscription databases
 * Don't like web page evaluation form because it doesn't have any place to evaluate authenticity or accuracy of source or information
 * No mention of copyright of internet sites
 * Don't know that teachers will check it out to read as the amount of information may be overwhelming, 193 pages
