Whole-Group Instruction - The Research

You will read books during whole group that provides the "research." You'll also use schema maps that encourges your students to think and engage their knowledge of the subject area at the beginning and the end of each of the research projects.

Writing & Independent Research

Writing is a major part of our research projects and reinforces the students learning by writing about what they learned during whole group. There are also individual student journals for the students to complete in small group or independently. So you can easily differentiate the learning. 

Vocabulary

Activities are included that help expand your students vocabulary on the subject at hand. 

Centers

Most of our Research Projects include math & literacy centers that are themed for the subject. This is just an added bonus to help you build up your math & literacy center activities!
