12th Grade--Catalyst for change
For this research project, students will be working both with their AVID teacher and the teacher-librarian over the course of multiple library visits.
Pre-search: Conduct a basic Google search in order to gain a sense of who your person is and what he/she accomplished. Record your findings in the "Pre-Search Findings" chart.
Step 1: Students will use Biography in Context and one print source to gather information on their leader's home, education, culture or religious contexts that shaped the leader's life. One log per resource (two total) must be completed. For a video tutorial on how to use the Card Catalog, click here.
Step 2--Students will use Student Resources in Context to find a secondary and primary source. The goal of this step is to find out what others have said about the leader's goals, actions, and/or contributions. One log per resource (two total) must be completed.
On Visit 2, students responded to the following reflection questions: AVID Research Reflection.
