Develop Research Skills
In TechnoResearch, students develop research skills as they create a Fact Card using Google Docs or Microsoft Word. To start, students brainstorm a topic and plan their research project. Next, they use strategies to retrieve quality information from reliable sources. The facts are then processed using paraphrasing techniques to transform an outline into a one sheet report. The publication is shared with others as a part of a Fun Fact Card Collection. Extension activities challenge students to develop skimming and scanning techniques, practice advanced research strategies, arrange facts in a table, and recognize primary and secondary sources of information. The goal of this project is to teach skills that are transferable to any research project.
