Teacher Actions: Introduction: (20 mins )
Write the following on the board: What is research? What do you want to learn
Student Actions: about?
Have the student write out their answers in their journal and as the students are
Materials/Resources: writing their answers, the teacher will go around the class and listen in on the
students answers.
When the class (or most of it) is finished have them share their answers with each
other.
- Think-pair-share: Instruct students to turn to a classmate and share their answers.
They can share their ideas with each other and come up with new ones if they
want.
After, discuss with the class. How did it go? What is research to them? What do
they want to research?
Then explain that what research is. Research is the process of solving problems
and finding facts to back it up in an organized way.

Part 1 of Activity:

Step 1: Have the students share their ideas. Let them know that if the question is
too broad they will have a hard time.
Model examples of research topic :
- Too Broad: Flowers
- Just Right: Sunflowers

Reflection on last
session & rationale for
this lesson (use
evidence)
- Too Broad: Black History Month
- Just Right: Ruth Lloyd’s life Have students come up with a few examples as a
class.
Give students a few more minutes to fix their research prompt before moving on.
Step 2: I will pass out a note taking worksheet for my students to follow along as
they are finding sources. I will model how to fill out the guide and answer all the
questions the questions have.
I will be providing the class with a list of sources they can use to help them with
their research or give them ideas of sources they can use.
While the students are taking notes, I will remind them NOT to copy word for
word but take ideas that they like from the sources and put it all in their own
words. As they are taking notes, I will also be walking around, assisting them,
checking understanding and answering they might have.
* I will also make sure that the students have a document open they can put links
of the sources they are using them at the end.
Step 3: Students will take their note taking guide and create a rough for their final
paper. Students will be able to create a rough draft from the note taking guide. I
will model for student how they can create a rough draft with with their guide. I
will be giving them time to ask questions and come up with a plan to write their
draft.
Materials:
- Computers - Pencils
- Journals
- Note taking guide
Accommodations:
Below learners will get extra when its comes to writing their rough draft. Students
that are head of others will be asked to other other students, if needed.
High Leverage Practices: (Eliciting and Interpreting) The teacher will be
formulating and posing questions that are designed to explore the students'
thinking. The student is able to take her time to answer questions. We will continue
to encourage the student by listening and asking her questions.
I choose to break down this lesson into 3 different parts because it is a project.
Student will be writing an essay by the end of this lesson. They have to start off
with the research, note taking and creating a rough draft so they can see how much
they have grown.

are not implementing this

Note Taking Guide
I found these videos on YouTube that will help my students with the first three
steps of their research report.

Students will be able to use this videos at home or even look back at them in class
as a resource.
At the end of this lesson, I will be collecting students’ rough draft. I will be editing
them and and giving them feedback for there next step.
