Within framework of inquiry…
• Research is a sequential process.
• Answers come from a range of sources.
• Information must be analyzed and organized.
• Then it can be synthesized into a final product to share with audience(s).
How to…
• Record information they already know (facts)
• Determine what they want to learn (questions).
• Cite all sources.
• Avoid plagiarism.
Students are learning…

Essential Questions
•Frame unit of study•Connect what is learned to real world•Require critical thinking to answer•Allow students to form original ideas instead of pre-determined answers.•Point students toward key ideas & main concepts we want them to understand•Asked & re-asked
What does it matter if I know
this?
Why do I have to do
this?
When will I ever use
this?

Key starting points for planning effective units of study built around key curriculum –based big ideas.
EXAMPLE: Natural Disasters
Topic: hurricanes
Essential Question: What are environmental
and cultural effects of a hurricane?
Guiding Questions:•What are the characteristics of a hurricane?•How are people affected by a hurricane?•What is the impact of a hurricane on the environment?
![Page 11: Tame Chaos of Classroom Research (IIM Update 2015-full vers.)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5697c1a28ab3e638b45d9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Topic: habitatEssential Question: How do living
things depend on one another and on their environments?
Guiding Questions:•How are living things connected?•How does human activity affect environments?•How are habitats alike and different?
At the end of a unit, what key understandings should students have? --- > curriculum guides, TX-TEKS
EXAMPLE: Habitats

TOPICStep 1
Choose What to Study
• What do you already know?
• What do you want to find out?
CD forms 17-20—my topic, concept map, glossary sheet for individual work
•Spark Curiosity with Immersion Activities!•Generate facts + questions.•Organize & categorize (graphic organizer)•Post glossary.

Development of student questions
1. On your own, or with a partner, choose a book on our topic that interests you.
2. Write the title and author in your notebook or on an index card.3. Under this, write: ‘I wonder…’
4. During your reading, list all the questions the information in the book raises in your mind. These do not need to be questions answered in the book—just things that make you wonder.
5. Here is an example:
