Research

Students will begin researching topics for their informational reports by exploring topics using online research tools like Epic, Raz Kids, and Kiddle. The teacher will circulate to ensure students have chosen topics and are exploring their topics through various sources. Next class will focus on identifying subtopics and creating a table of contents. While the online tools provided some information, students felt limited and wanted to use Google as well to find more information, suggesting the plan should address safe ways to allow broader research sources.

Lesson: to Bring:
Time: Content/Description Notes/Assessments:
Introduction: Picking a Topic
 Remind students that they should have picked out a topic
7 mins for their reports
 Tell them that the research for their topics begins today to
start learning more about their topics. Even if they know
lots about their topics, there is more to learn. You need to
become the expert on the topic.
 Could be entire books, or chapters of the book. Or a great
website- today is just about becoming familiar with the
topic. We will take notes in a few days, just enjoy
exploring your topic
 Show them Kiddle – tell them they can use that, Raz Kids
or Epic
Body: Research

50 mins of their choice.
 I will go around and make sure everyone has chosen a
topic

to write about
 Students explored their topics for the rest of class on Raz Kids, Epic Books and Kiddle.
2. Specific strengths of the lesson plan and delivery:
 Students ended up doing the research in pairs because we didn’t have enough
computers- This actually worked out nicely because students could have a chance to
talk about their topic with their partners and get ideas for each other. I would do it this
way again.
3. Specific weaknesses in the lesson plan and delivery:
 Students were feeling like they wanted to find more information on Google because
Kiddle is definitely limited.

4. What must be addressed to improve this plan?


 Consider safe ways to allow the students to research through Google
 If the library was open this would be a good alternative for research as well
