Content Objective: 2.02 Create a research product in both written and presentational form.


Language Objective: Generate questions about the research process.


Essential Question: How will I support my thesis statement?


Today's class was devoted to research. Prior to allowing access to the collection of books pulled by the media center, the students received a format sheet for their research paper. It lays out the paper step by step. If they fill in the blanks, the paper will virtually write itself. I also gave the students a packet of information concerning the research process that should help. Several students who had been floundering at the end of last week made progress today.

Homework: Continue research; SSR.
