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.

Information Literacy: Guiding Student Research

"Education should begin in research and end in research….An education which does not begin by evoking initiative and end by encouraging it must be wrong. For its whole aim is the production of active wisdom."

~ Alfred North Whitehead


Barbara Greenstone presented at FETC 2008 last week. She has kindly shared with the rest of us here in Maine the materials of that session on the research process . . . in multiple formats at MLTI Maine Learns.
