PROJECT 2: INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING  S571-Information Inquiry Heidi Butler    In Callison, (176) by grades 9-12, students have matured to the level of being able to draw conclusions from the data they have gathered, use technology to gather information, formulate and revise the evidence in a logical fashion, and make a sound argument. AASL skill number 2-draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge-outlines the steps necessary to make research meaningful.   · **Standards for the 21st Century Learner- ** o 10th Grade – Skill 2.1.4 o 12th Grade – Skill 2.3.3 <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Indiana State Standards – English 10 Grade ** <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Courier New'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Courier New'; msolist: Ignore;">o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">#   <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: text1;">10.5.9 - Research Application: Write or deliver a research report that has been developed using a systematic research process (defines the topic, gathers information, determines credibility, reports findings) and that: • uses information from a variety of sources (books, technology, multimedia), distinguishes between primary and secondary documents, and documents sources independently by using a consistent format for citations. • synthesizes information gathered from a variety of sources, including technology and one's own research, and evaluates information for its relevance to the research questions. • demonstrates that information that has been gathered has been summarized, that the topic has been refined through this process, and that conclusions have been drawn from synthesizing information. • demonstrates that sources have been evaluated for accuracy, bias, and credibility. • organizes information by classifying, categorizing, and sequencing, and demonstrates the distinction between one's own ideas from the ideas of others, and includes a bibliography (Works Cited). <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Courier New'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Courier New'; msolist: Ignore;">o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Indiana State Standards – English 12 Grade ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Courier New'; mso-themecolor: text1; msofareastfontfamily: 'Courier New'; msolist: Ignore; msothemecolor: text1;">o <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"># <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: text1;">12.5.9 - Write academic essays, such as an analytical essay, a persuasive essay, a research report, a summary, an explanation, a description, or a literary analysis that: • develops a thesis. • creates an organizing structure appropriate to purpose, audience, and context. • includes accurate information from primary and secondary sources and excludes extraneous information. • makes valid inferences. • supports judgments with relevant and substantial evidence and well-chosen details. • uses technical terms and notations correctly. • provides a coherent conclusion <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Courier New'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Courier New'; msolist: Ignore;">o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Class size: 30-35 <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Courier New'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Courier New'; msolist: Ignore;">o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Large school – urban – middle/lower class <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Courier New'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Courier New'; msolist: Ignore;">o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Being high school students, they are already techno savvy.
