Mr. Gallo's Junior English students are on day 3 of the research process. They are still refining topics and collecting information. The next step will involve developing research questions.
Five days ago, they posted their topics to the Library Moodle (course interface) forum for this project. A media specialist responded to each student post, giving them a customized set of instructions for the initial research phase.
Three days ago, when they arrived in the library for their first research session, each student had relevant, personalized directions. No time was wasted on generic, "one size fits all" instruction. Each student launched immediately into his/her research.
It is now up to the students to ask for further guidance, as needed, on this project's forum.
