AGOPPE Research: Amelse's Class

And last, but not least, Amelse's class presentations.  You might notice on all the videos that students have included a slide that lets you know where they got their information.  They may not be writing formal citations yet, but all students should be giving credit to the sources that they use for information and images for every project.  One of the many things I like about Adobe Voice (now Adobe Spark) is that there's a credits slide at the end of the presentation that gives credit for the images used.  This class did a great job - take a look!

Seventh Grade High School Research

Seventh grade students are completing a full research project in my library class.  They are each researching a high school (or high schools) of their choice.  Their research follows the research method AGOPPE (Ask Gather Organize Prepare Present Evaluate.)  They are practicing several research related skills such as note-taking, effective searching, and creating citations.

In addition to their individual high school website, students have been using the following two websites to find information:

CPS High School Guide
CPS Find a School

Next up are the steps Prepare and Present as they work in groups to share what they learned.
