This can be an overwhelming and frustrating assignment for many students in the upper elementary grades. Due to this, all fourth through sixth graders at our school begin research projects in January using the same note taking method. While this is not the only method for note taking, it works beautifully with this age range. Once sixth graders have graduated from elementary school, they have created a minimum of three research projects using this method, most have created more, and are proficient in this method. Here are the basic instructions for the process: Writing a Short Research Project ~ Note Taking Method » Book Units Teacher. Research Paper Lesson Plans. Teaching for Learning.
