Workshop outline
Research Matters is a creative workshop and is ideal for a first visit.
This stimulating workshop introduces students to the idea of research by investigating how we find things out. Using creative activities, students will think about what research is and explore some of the ways in which we use books, pictures and maps to carry out research.
Research Matters is cross-curricular and will develop skills in critical thinking, creativity and visual literacy. Students will be invited to ask questions such as: How do you find things out? How do you organise your thoughts? How do you use objects from the past to research? Are there different approaches to research? Why is the British Library a research library?
Exploring the public galleries and spaces, students will leave the workshop thinking about research in a new way. Please note that, as with all our workshops, we’re unable to take groups into the Reading Rooms.
