Teaching students research skills is still one of those things that I am trying to figure out. I don't want to give them so much direction that I am doing the research for them, but I also know saying, "GO RESEARCH STUFF" is entirely unhelpful. In my life, frameworks have always helped. It is one of the main reasons I love graphic organizers. They give me a framework for finding the Big Ideas of a topic. Students worked in partners to get some basic knowledge of Mesopotamia. They are working in expert groups and are responsible for one of the sections of this graphic organizer, then they will be sharing out their findings. This isn't a perfect lesson for me, but I love the aspect of sharing, presentation, and building big ideas.
