Researching Multiple Perspectives to Develop a Position


Description

Students engage in an inquiry-based, iterative research process that serves as the basis of a culminating research-based argument paper. Building on work with evidence-based analysis in Modules 1 and 2, students use a seed text to surface and explore issues that lend themselves to multiple positions and perspectives. Module 3 fosters students’ independent learning by decreasing scaffolds in key research lessons as students gather and analyze research based on vetted sources to establish a position of their own. Students first generate a written evidence-based perspective, which serves as the early foundation of what will ultimately become their research-based argument paper.
