  1. FCPSResearch ProcessWebsite

  2. What is the FCPS Research Process Website? • A site created to address the research process among all disciplines and grade levels

  3. Maryland Common Core State Curriculum • Essential skills and knowledge needed to master grade specific standards • FCPS Research Process Site provides: • Skills Continuum • Skills Scope and Sequence • Best Practices for Teachers • Rubrics for Elementary, Middle and High School • Research Process Resources

  4. A Big Change: Increase in research skills particularly in Language Arts • W7 CCR Anchor Standard • Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focus questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation • W8 CCR Anchor Standard • Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism And other research skills embedded throughout.

  5. What are the steps of the research process? • Stage 1—Presearch • Stage 2—Search for Information • Stage 3—Select Information • Stage 4—Create Your Product • Stage 5—Communication the Information • Stage 6—Evaluate Product and ProcessDon’t worry! These stages will not cause you extra work or time. They are already aligned with the Common Core Curriculum and will help you meet each standard!

  6. What should students know? • What is one expectation you have for your students in regards to research? • What should students know when they come to you? • What should students know once they leave your classroom at the end of the year? • How do your expectations compare to the Skills Continuum? What skills in the research process apply to your grade level?

  7. What steps do I take to get students through the continuum? • Best Practices • Read through each section individually. • Some items to note: • Use of Subscription Databases and eBooks • Collaboration with Media Specialists • Time Management of Research Process

  8. Example using the continuum • In ninth grade, students are expected to “Continue to develop a working bibliography and differentiate between bibliography and Works Cited.” • With past projects, you always rush through or ignore the bibliography/works cited page because you lack time. – You can collaborate with your media specialist to create an interactive lesson on creating WORKING bibliographies that are continually revised as students research to alleviate plagiarism.

  9. How Do I Teach This Stuff? • Resources • Linked Resources include: • A two-page list of websites that address all stages of the research process • Linked pages of websites specific to research skills in the Scope and Sequence chart • Added notes with each linked skill • Divided by grade levels • Descriptions of what is found on each link

  10. Example Using the Resources Page • In sixth grade, you might use the following website and form on the resources page to teach and explain the importance of evaluating websites: • Evaluating Websites • Website Evaluation Form • There are even examples of unreliable sites to use for practice.

  11. Small Group Discussion • In small groups, discuss how you can integrate the FCPS Research Process into what you are already doing in the classroom. What ideas do you have for research projects?
