Hi, classes! I'm in a meeting all day today, so here's what you need to do today... (The sub knows this. We spoke about what you need to do. Feel free to ask her for help if you get stuck!) For more information about the project timeline, click here. Make sure you...
*Most of you should be on the LAST step! Today, we're working on creating an outline with our researched information. Below are models and 2 different scaffolds to help students write the outline & the paper. The bullet points below are links to Google Docs.

This is a little late, but thanks to a helpful comment from a student, I found out this organizer was helpful to students during the last project! Today is Day 2 of students' in-class research for their analytical papers. In our brainstorms, the idea of including statistical data (e.g. charts, graphs) was raised. On my visit to another school yesterday, I saw a great graphic organizer teachers are using for interpreting graphs & charts. I've reproduced it with some small changes & attached it at the bottom of this post.
Today's Agenda: keep researching!

Hi, classes! I'm at another school today, so here's what you're going to do for the day...Complete each of these steps in the order they are listed below. Also, a draft of this paper will be due on Thursday, April 2nd. After today, you will have (in class) 1 more day to find research, 1 day to create your outline with information, and 3 days to write the paper. Checklist
Today I introduced the project via brainstorm about what a research paper is/should look like. Each class created their own outline based on a blend of their brainstormed ideas and typical formal research components. I met with each student 1-on-1 to solidify their research questions. Students that were ready began their research, taking notes on note "cards". Agenda

For the first half of this lesson, students filled out the NYC school survey. *If you didn't do this in class, complete the survey (using the access code & password given to you in class) here. For the second half of the lesson, students developed more specific research questions. (The expectation for students to try this at home was definitely intense!) Agenda
