Ken Macrorie's I-Search Paper: a welcome change (See link, below.)
The I-Search Paper:
  • Assumes the writer/student and the experts and teacher are all equal human beings.
  • Assumes they are all experts at something, are all learning--alone and from each other.
  • Assumes they all make mistakes; therefore, the student must sift out the truth from what is read & heard, & write as he discovers it.
The job of the teacher and expert is to model, encourage, and support the student.
The job of the parent is to  transport student to research-related resources (within reason), assist student in locating possible resources, & encourage & support the student.
Please loof through the student folder or binder on a weekly basis to make sure benchmarks are being met.
