FOCUS ON PROCESS, NOT JUST CONTENT Provide students the opportunity to discover information on their own
FOCUS ON PROCESS, NOT JUST CONTENT Emphasize the learning process in the context of research – emphasis on short, focused research projects, develop independence using print and digital resources
CREATE ASSIGNMENTS FOR REAL AUDIENCES AND WITH REAL PURPOSE Use real audiences and give students more authentic experiences
TEACH ARGUMENT NOT PERSUASION Very distinct difference – argument requires logic and reasoning based on sound research and evidence
INCREASE TEXT COMPLEXITY For choosing text look at qualitative, quantitative, and reader and task considerations, raise the level of content by using multiple sources and exposing students to multiple perspectives
