Well, this year's research skills class for 6th graders is almost finished. I had the privilege of working with four sections of sixth graders and they have been wonderful. I'll certainly miss them next year.
About four years ago my principal had asked me to create a research-skills program for the students in our middle school. At the time, students were lacking in many of the skills needed to conduct research projects accurately and independently. I created a curriculum based on "The Big 6" program by Micheal Eisenberg and Robert Berkowitz. Students are learning how to paraphrase information, write a works cited, how to use note cards as well as an outline. From the outline we have written essays, created power points, posters and speeches. Here are some pictures of my students' posters that they recently created. What a terrific bunch they are.
