Research+Projects+with+Second+Grade+Students

Brenda Shufelt Now that there’s an iPhone app for it, we know that CCSS is for real. Luckily for librarians research projects are a natural for meeting Common Core State Standards. In this workshop, learn how 2nd grade students can research, write, and present information on a specific topic using multiple sources, technology, and inquiry, all the while meeting many of the CCSS. The process of developing and implementing child-friendly research projects that meet standards will be illustrated in specific detail. There will also be discussion of how student research projects can be implemented given the constraints in the libraries of the various attendees.
