iSearch Unhaunted

A team of collaborators - English Language teacher, her assistant, and Media and Information Literacy specialist - once again has proved that collaboration is a powerful strategy to deepen student learning and reach an effective understanding of academic material. Ms. Salem, Ms. Cannon and Ms. Bee support 9 Grade students in their research skills acquisition on iSearch project.

Students create essential questions, identify primary and secondary sources to find evidence in reliable sources, conduct interviews, provide proper citations and  organize information into a research paper.
 

In groups, students reflect what skills they have learned, practiced and mastered, and discuss how these skills are necessary not only for their academic success but for being effective in day-to-day operations.
