Publisher's Description
The implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) calls on
educators to refresh and sharpen their skills in reading, writing,
math...and research! Research in the Internet Age creates new challenges
for search, comprehension, synthesis, and creation skills. In
Navigating the Information Tsunami: Engaging Research Projects that Meet
the Common Core State Standards, K-5, we've created our first book
geared directly at teachers, administrators, and librarians. Expert
practitioners in research pedagogy share their best tips and lessons in
nearly 20 projects that invite students to think deeply, weigh choices,
make decisions, and articulate them in digital or print projects. With
an eye toward the how and not merely the what of quality research for
emerging readers and young scholars, our contributors provide detailed
guidance on how teachers can harness students' natural curiosity to go
beyond fact-gathering and exceed CCSS expectations.
