Research Method #1 I-search

students more fully understand the reasons for using research, & can be shortened to use pieces of process * students are able to write in their own words so they are more likely to elaborate and not copy word for word.
 * What we Know || Want to Know || What we Learned || Questions We Still Have ||
 * Four Steps Student interest centered || What are the four steps? || The Steps Are: #1 Select Topic
 * 1) 2 Find Information
 * 2) 3 Use Information
 * 3) 4 Develop Final Product ||  ||
 * || What age group is this method appropriate to use with? || Can be adapted K - College typically used middle and high school ||  ||
 * || What are the advantages/benefits of this method? For teachers? For students? || Advantages - flexible for different age levels, cross-curriculum implementation,

choosing topics is difficult for some students (some students "agonize" over choosing a topic, while others choose quickly and then get bored waiting for others to move on). || ﻿How often do teachers have to "help" students pick topics because they are indecisive? || reading, reading comprehension, taking notes, summarizing, reflecting, narrative writing, etc. Technology skills necessary include: using search engines/databases and keywords, identifying relevant information, basic understanding of word processing and the Internet. ||  ||
 * the four questions help students "stay on track."
 * students are excited about their research because they are personally interested.
 * students may stop thinking about grades because they are interested in topic. ||  ||
 * || What are the disadvantages/drawbacks of this method? For teachers? For students? || Disadvantages - 6 week long process & can be daunting to the uninitiated *
 * || What skills do students need to have prior to using I-Search? || Some necessary prior skills are:
 * || What are some ways for students to present their final projects? || posters, storyboard books, "using real objects related to their I-Search in a demonstration," making a video, PowerPoint presentations, or photo essays ||  ||
 * ||  ||   || How widespread is the use of the I-Search method?﻿ ||
 * || How should teachers support their students who are doing an I-Search? || * meet with students often to conference about their search, etc.
 * decide when they should intervene and teach more information skills throughout the entire year; not just during the research project.
 * offer guidance to individual students who need it. ||  ||
