Instructional Ideas

  • Have ninth graders rotate through learning stations or small groups to field their questions and brainstorm with peers
  • Use the lesson on a day when you don't have access to computers or tablets

Classroom Considerations

  • Consider condensing the lesson and or unit to meet the needs of your curriculum and the interest level of the class
  • Part of a more extended research unit that builds from the first unit in a language arts module

Pros

  • Scaffolds a complicated research process
  • Models inquiry-based learning, which can undoubtedly help ninth graders throughout their high school and college career

Cons

  • None
