CONCLUSION

After this Fact Findings assignment, we get more facts and develop our awareness of
literate information. We also learn how to find the correct answer step by step, first
beginning to read and understand the question, then using Google Search to look up
or search the results. We click on the link after the search is done, which is the
information relevant to the query, and get the details from that link.

We also learn further to analyze our knowledge needs in this assignment and identify,
review and use the relevant data. Finally, we hope that this assignment can be done
by all students as an example to guide them in the future.
