Literary Foundations: Resourcing

Posted byBkd4successPosted inLiterary Foundations
What do you notice?
  • Form a question: Research should be targeted; develop a question you want to answer before progressing any further.
  • Decide on resources: Not every resource is good for every question/problem.
What steps in the research process have you mastered?
  • Back to school… what do you want to learn this year? What would you like to know more about? What is an investigation that you never understood?
  • Making the family connection: Discuss the slides above.
  • Materials: family learning journals/paper, pencils, colored pencils, and/or crayons
  • Remind them to open their journals to the next available page and date it. Don’t forget to have them label the top of the page with today’s learning topic/skill.
  • Today’s literary connection: Researching and Resourcing. Guided enquiry: “What topic will you choose?” *A certain period of history; a war; an animal; a person of interest; an invention; country/state; or a culture (Native Americans).
  • Next: Guide them in searching for online resources and take them to the public library with their topic-list of questions-and library card (encourage them to ask the librarian to help them choose 3-5 resources for their research topic).
  • Extension: Online… Library of Congress: https://www.loc.gov/programs/teachers/about-this-program/ or Kathy Schrock’s guide to primary resources: https://www.schrockguide.net/primary-sources.html
