Principals’ Session Approaching Research: Module 10.3 EngageNY.org
Purpose of this Session Participants will be able to… Identify the key design principles and features of Module 10.3. Understand the design components and approach to research. Identify areas where students and teachers will need support when engaging with the module. EngageNY.org
Origins of the NY Curriculum Modules’ Approach to Research Research: NY Curriculum Modules Odell Education Research Unit CCSS Writing CCSS Reading EngageNY.org
Research: Key Design Features Inquiry-driven process designed to deepen understanding Iterative and cyclical Student topic selection Writing from sources EngageNY.org
Writing Standards: Writing Has a Progression Too! EngageNY.org
Research: Assessed CCSS Read W.9-10.7, W.9-10.8, and W.9-10.9. Discuss: What are the skills and expectations embedded in these standards? W.9-10.7: Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation. W.9-10.8: Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the usefulness of each source in answering the research question; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation. W.9-10.9: Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. EngageNY.org
Assessment Map End-of-Unit Assessment Performance Assessment How do they require increasing levels of mastery for W.9-10.7, W.9-10.8, and W.9-10.9? How can you talk with teachers about what an assessment is expected to tell us about what students can do, and what the students' performance on that assessment says about the need for instruction, scaffolding, or other supports?

Productive Inquiry EngageNY.org
Research Module Overview Unit 1: Close Reading Unit 2: The Research Process Unit 3: The Writing Process Using seed texts as springboards for exploring topics Using inquiry to refine and deepen understanding around a topic Communicating research effectively through writing EngageNY.org
Unit Overview Jigsaw Activity Form groups of three. Divide the unit overviews from this module among you. Each person should read one overview. In your group, share details about your unit with the other group members, focusing on the following questions: What does each unit provide to help students understand the research process? How do the units connect and build on each other? EngageNY.org
Reflecting on 10.3: Approach to Research In the next sessions, you’ll have an opportunity to discuss: How this approach to argument writing supports the CCSS instructional shifts and standards. How you might envision adapting this to your classroom or school(s). Decide which pieces will be most challenging to implement and solutions to meet those challenges. EngageNY.org
