In
reviewing the Common Core Standards research is a part of the curriculum for
all grade levels.
I
think it is great!
What
a valuable way to stimulate critical thinking, foster gathering valued facts
from text, and to discover new information about a number of topics.
Added
to the
above is the practice
students will develop using their writing skills to prepare their research
report.
As
students share their report and presentations others will learn from the
information presented.
Research
fosters the development of independent learners and that is a key element to
success in the educational arena.
There
is only one problem
. . . helping students
organize their thoughts and work so they are reporting on pertinent information
can be difficult.
For that reason I prepared this packet
filled with graphic organizers, steps for collecting valuable information, and
a number of ideas on how students might report.
I
hope this packet helps as you implement research into the
primary curriculum.
It begins with a cover for ladies and one for gentlemen for a booklet or folder.
Organizers for identifying topic, finding resources, and posing three questions your want to research.
There are then 4 pages, one for each resource, to put four key facts on.
Here are two examples of the pages to collect key words and photos.
Finally, pull it all together.
Here are 4 examples of ways students can report.
There are more in the packet.
