Tuesday 11 February 2014 for Periods 2, 5, & 6 and Wednesday 12 February 2014 for Periods 1 & 7
Students began learning the song "Lord of My Life" for the class devotional time.
After a review of the primary analogies from yesterday's class (research as shopping and databases as cable carriers), Mr. Stone asked seven to ten students to share their primary research question. He provided feedback concerning whether the primary question was appropriately focused for the students' seven-paragraph paper. Topics were listed on the board in three columns: too narrow, too broad, just right. Mr. Stone jokingly compared the categories to the responses of Goldilocks to the three bears.
Mr. Stone then asked for one student to volunteer to have their secondary level questions used to model the selecting of key search terms. First a key word was underlined in the primary question and each secondary question. The student was directed to write each underlined word in the lower search term box. Mr. Stone and students then suggested synonyms to write in the corresponding search term variations box.
Homework: Complete the first four rows of the research bubble sheet if not already completed: primary/main question, secondary/subsidiary questions, search term(s), and search term variations.
Students need to be sure to bring their Pocket Style Manual to class for credit.
