PEW Research Center

·       Journal about 1-2 issues from the articles:  KWL chart

·       Discuss what YOU already know / where YOUR beliefs lie. Could you be biased?

·       CONCEPT MAP regarding the concept of ETHICS

People rely on a variety of resources to obtain information

Where do I find reliable and valid information for my research poster?  How do I know if the information that I have researched is reliable and valid?

CHOOSE A FOCUS and begin reading about the topic; CHECK FOR SOURCE VALIDITY

Construct a research question

(Review the MEDIA BIAS CHART, if necessary.)

New information may result in a new idea or a change of stance

Why do we ask questions?  Why do we need to evaluate what we read?

Begin personal search to help answer all parts of your question-- look for TED talks, podcasts, etc.

Keep reading / listening / viewing-- keep a list of all sources that help answer your research question in Noodle Tools

Writing is a multi-stage process

How do we approach writing? How does each step in the process impact your writing?

·       Choose your 4 best texts (articles, web pages, TED talks) and complete a PRECIS for each one-- for every quote you select, complete a SAY / MEAN / MATTER chart

·       Now, complete the DINNER PARTY ACTIVITY

·       Put your MLA citations, your precis, and your dinner party work together for an ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

·       Create your synthesized CLAIM STATEMENT—what is THE message you want to send to your audience?  Add this to your graphic organizer.

·       Select the BEST EVIDENCE from your texts to complete your graphic organizer

·       Finally, create your poster

Writing is a reflective process

How do we evaluate writing? How can we use evaluation and reflection to improve our writing?
