Models and Methods of Research - Grade 10
The unit has two parts. In Part 1, students will study Clancy’s chapters by moving through a basic progression of comprehension work followed by interpretive work. In other words, students’ early work with Clancy is dedicated to making sense of the chapters; the later assignments in Part 1 build on those comprehension tasks and ask students to develop insightful interpretations of Clancy’s work. The work in Part 1 scaffolds the work of Part 2 where students take on a research-based report writing project of their own. Towards the end of the unit, student reports are compiled, distributed, and studied as additional examples of research-based report writing. Teachers have the option of continuing with sessions focused on developing research-based presentations.
