Research Process and Skills - CAS Lower School Library. To support the development of researching skills for Inquiry from Nursery all the way to grade 12 at CAS, the school can benefit from adopting an official "research process. " An agreement among teachers to uniformly use that process can provide students continual exposure for the same framework and language to be used in structuring research assignments. Our faculty needs to discuss the options for adopting a research process and the first is the model I believe best supports Inquiry-based learning in our school. It is a model that for which I have developed extensive materials, rubrics, slide shows and exercises. I love it because it employs language that supports inquiry and reflects the kinds of methodology and best practices that are emphasized in leading schools of the 21st century-- more so, in my view, than does the last (oldie and goodie model) on the list. The terminology makes the process accessible for even our ELL population.
High Five: Question, Plan, Gather, Create, Assess! The Literate Learner - InterActive Six Trait Writing Process. Six Traits Writing is a systematic approach for looking at writing one part at a time. Since writing is such a complicated activity, this approach helps many people break down the task and understand it better. By focusing on and scoring only one trait at a time, a writer/reader can break down a complex activity like writing and make it more manageable.
With practice, writers can then learn to be more critical of their own work and can make improvements in the quality of their writing. Perhaps, more than anything else, the six traits give teachers and students a common vocabulary for talking and thinking about writing. This web site provides an interdisciplinary approach to teaching and improving student writing based on the Six Traits Writing model. The links on the right provide an overview of the model along with the scoring rubrics for each trait. The real power of the site is found in the Exercises. There is no charge for using this site.
