Check the document page for our non fiction rubric…

Go to the research page for some pre-selected links. Feel free to comment on ones that are helpful that you think others should check out, and even politely let us know if some need to go, or have something written to help other researchers. By now you should have lots of notes on the overview of your topic in general, and have narrowed in on some subtopics to work more deeply with. You should be asking questions and re-reading your notes for patterns. Now that you have the basics of who, what, where and when questions; you need to ask, think and read about why these events are important, how they relate to each other, what caused them and what did they affect…

Have fun, this is where you are not just reading to learn about people and history, you are thinking critically and including your own ideas and questions about things!

The Factor Game and Product game links are there. Also, you can check out my old website for lots of math and word study resources!
