"The Big 6 is a six-stage model to help anyone solve problems or make decisions by using information. Some call it information literacy, information communication, or ICT skills, or a process, but we call it the Big 6."
1. Task Definition
1.1 Define the information problem
1.2 Identify information needed
2. Information Seeking Strategies
2.1 Determine all possible sources
2.2 Select the best sources
3. Location and Access
3.1 Locate sources (intellectually and physically)
3.2 Find information within sources
4. Use of Information
4.1 Engage (e.g., read, hear, view, touch)
4.2 Extract relevant information
5. Synthesis
5.1 Organize from multiple sources
5.2 Present the information
6. Evaluation
6.1 Judge the product (effectiveness)
6.2 Judge the process (efficiency)

Our wonderful library team use the BIG 6 when collaborating with teachers, helping create assessments, teaching students research skills and more!  Our secondary school Pascale Viala often makes posters catered to different projects.  Here are her general Big 6, Personal Project and EE posters!

Hiya.
Great posters, I've just started doing something similar myself. I really like how your posters are clear, yet still require interogation (i.e. students can't skim read them). Suggestion: make a sister poster for teachers that shows the emotional challenges for students at each of these stages, e.g. stage 1 - student often has trouble converting teachers question in to their own language.
inspiration: checkout 'Sketchnote Army' online for fresh ideas. Good luck!

Those are great! I love how the whole flow is put in such a good visual format so that students can see where they're going and what they need!
