Groups of 3
As a group, decide on a topic and sign up for it on the chart. Once you have signed up for a topic, generate at least three solid research questions to guide your investigation (your Essential questions):– A question that explores the subject- “What is/was ___”– A question that explores a cause- “What factors influenced
the life of African Americans in Alabama in the 1960s?”– A question that explores an effect by evaluating the
change- “How did the _____ help change anti-segregation laws.”
Assign
• Each group member is responsible for one of the 3 Guiding Questions.– Each group member then writes additional
research questions to help guide his/her research on the main guiding question.
Research Proposal
• As a group, create a research proposal on a separate sheet of paper.
• Group member names• Subject of your investigation.• Your 3 essential questions- and who they are
assigned to.• Information you already know related to your topic,
and information you will need to find in order to present a comprehensive understanding of your topic.
Tomorrow is Research Day in the library
• For tomorrow, you will be bringing notecards to help organize your research.
• Each note card is for a different source. • On the front of the notecard you will put the citation for the
source (Article title, author, location of source, page numbers, web address, date of publication, etc).
• The back of the note card will be for your notes- direct quotes you want to use, paraphrases of important details, etc.
These will become your reference cards, so when you are organizing your presentation, you have a quick source to go back and get more specific information as needed.
