3rd Grade Research!

It's that time of year again! Third Grade is gearing up for my favorite unit - research! We have had such a great time so far learning about the basis of research as well as several important elements of the research process. 

We all began by reading Ada Twist, Scientist by Andrea Beaty. This book taught us that research starts with great (and sometimes plentiful) questions and helped us to begin thinking about topics that are interesting to us. It was also a really cool way to open up discussion about the research process (how it begins and what they would need along the way). 

Our next lesson focused on Copyright, Plagiarism, and Citation of sources. It was really fun to see our kiddos not just be able to create a citation for a source, but to understand the reasoning behind the citation creation! The presentation I used for this lesson, as well as the handout, it below.

Next, we tackled Quotes, Summaries, and Paraphrasing. Third Grade has been working diligently on summaries for quite a while and it showed during this lesson! We used an awesome foldable to help us take notes on the characteristics of each skill. Then, used our foldable to practice with an article from Pebble Go about Babe Ruth. 

The hand out we used to practice as a whole group and small group is attached. The handout also covered the difference between paraphrasing and plagiarism.

Now that they have learned so much about research, they are ready to go. After today though, maybe we all need a refresher on shelf markers next??
