Decades Research Project at Lewiston Middle School

I'm listening to the introduction to the LMS 7th grade language arts research project today. Teachers, Patricia Langlier and Susan Grondin, are enthusiastic and pushing the boundaries in developing this unit. I'll be working with their students tomorrow in developing research skills and in helping them to find specific websites that can help them. We'll also make use of stickies in taking notes and look at ways of saving time and energy in citing sources.
