World History 9: Daily Agenda

April 29/30: annotated bibliography

4/29/2019

 
Picture
Today you will work on developing a Bibliography at the end of your research portfolio. 
MLA CITATIONS:
I will walk around and assist students with the rules of MLA citations.  Please also use any of the following resources to help you with this.
  • MLA citation rules - OWL Purdue University
  • Sample Essay with Sources + Works Cited list
For each of your sources used, please include a brief annotation about the use of the sources, its value(s) and limitation(s) it had in your research.

  • Annotated Bibliography Examples
  • More examples of Annotations - This is from some of Mr. Bisset’s former students
  • Sample of Annotation & how to set this up (note: this is an example from my previous IB school-- just be glad you don’t have to write one this in depth -- this was for my 7th grade IB history students. Yikes!)


HW: finish your annotated bibliography

If you didn't finish your annotated bibliography in class (most of you did not...), then work on completing this.
​
If you have already finished... you could start brainstorming your "Taking Action" to start thinking about what argument you want to make.  

Next class we will work on developing a claim statement -- what do you want to do with this research? What voice needs to be amplified? What story needs to be told on this issue?  

April 23rd, 2019

4/23/2019

 
Today you will continue researching your topic...

You MAY have a one-on-one check-in with Mrs. Stewart about your research process, use of supporting research questions and documentation of notes

You will also determine 3 "critical friends" in which you will receive feedback from them throughout this unit.  You will meet with one of your critical friends in class today to get feedback about how you are organizing your research notes so far...

Helpful Resources for Today:
  • ​Unit 4 Webpage -- many resources here to help you with this unit
  • Research & Note-taking Tips (Google Slides)
  • Guiding/Supporting Research Guidelines Tips for developing better research questions
  • Internet Research Tips ( Google doc)
  • Research Tools -- you NEED these!!! (trust me)
​​Research Portfolio Exemplars:
  • Exemplars - Developing and Evaluating Supporting Questions (Google Doc)
  • Exemplars - Research Notes (collection from various research portfolios)
  • Exemplar - “Power” Student Research Portfolio​

HW: keep working on research...

Keep researching... work on Tasks 2-4. Be sure to use supporting questions to guide your research.  Consider which of the case studies (examples) you may want to focus your attention on (see image). 

While more than one case study helps provide corroboration to show this issue exists across time (history) and space (geography) and helps to find patterns, you may find one case study of particular interest--and a perspective within one case study that seems to be a voice that has been marginalized, misrepresented or is altogether missing or powerless. If you do, it is perfectly fine to focus on one case study more than the others for your research.

Keep researching...

HW: Keep Researching... work on your mid-level questions

  • Work on trying to find answers to your mid-level questions.
  • Be sure you are recording the source for your notes (notes, text evidence, etc. matches with the source it came from), and you are making notes on which perspective your source represents.
  • By the conclusion of your research, you should have 9-12 sources (and a variety of types of sources), representing at least 3 different perspectives/voices on the issue.

Identifying stakeholders of an issue

4/11/2019

 
Picture
Today we will look at who the stakeholders are of an issue. We will identify the stakeholders and look at who has "a seat at the table" and who does not. We will revise our research questions based on today's activity.

For starters... let's look at the issue of homework. 
How much homework should students have?

Helpful links:
Read one of these:
  • How much homework should students have?
  • Homework: Is it good for you? Here's is what Research Says...
  • Homework Wars
  • Homework: Valuable Learning Tool --or--Complete Waste of Time?
  • Then read this:
  • Is Homework a necessary evil?

Fill out the Google Form indicating your final selected issue/topic, the lens(es) you will study this issue you through and 2 possible research questions you will use to drive your research.  

HW: Begin researching your low-level questions

Begin your research, starting with answering your low level questions first--this helps build the foundation of your understanding of the issue first before getting into analysis and evaluation of the issue and multiple perspectives on the issue.

Deciding on an issue:

4/8/2019

 
Today you will be examining your selected #1 pick of an issue and exploring the various perspectives represented, misrepresented, marginalized or missing on the issue.  You will also be considering different lenses in which to examine the issue from, and possible research questions you may want to delve into with this issue.  ​

Individual activity: Mind-mapping your issue


You will be mind-mapping (concept-mapping) this out individually in class today.
