According to Dr. Lamb, the webbing stage consists of searching, locating, and connecting ideas and information. A piece of information can lead to new areas of interest and questions.
I haven't felt confusion during this stage but I have felt very overwhelmed. There is so much information in our world today that I think I could drown in it. Maybe this is why our students just pick the first bit of information that sounds good! I could spend days "information surfing." I know I need to stick to my chart and the essential questions for my project and begin to put my resources together.
I think the webbing portion of the 8 W's can closely relate to the exploring information stage in Kuhlthaus' ISP. For me, the fact that the Information Search Process identifies the feelings that go along with the stages helps me realize that I am on the right track and I am not alone in the way I feel. I havel felt the uncertainty and doubt about the information I am gathering and how I am going to put it all together.
I did try to follow my W section of my KWL chart. These were the initial guiding questions once I decided to do the traditional scrapbook. I will add the newly acquired information to the L section of my chart. From the information I have gathered I also decided to create a cluster map to further organize my thoughts and new information.
