Research
Most research is complete for exhibition! This is by far the most important step of the entire process. Without the knowledge, they are unable to apply it in meaningful ways. Students were asked to research their topics using the following sources: 3 books or articles, primary (interview) and any websites. Ten pages of notes was our "magic number" that helped us determine if they were gathering enough information on their topic. Check with your student and their progress thus far. Ask about where they are listing their resources, what questions they are researching and if there are any questions they still have.
Taking Action
Now that students are knowledgeable on their topics, they can start planning a meaningful action to take. Meaningful action for exhibition is NOT a canned food drive, fundraising or picking up trash once in the playground. Although these are great actions, we are trying to inform the community and create a bigger ripple effect with creative solutions to their issues! The action component is due: May 12th.
