PROBES are an authentic way for students to safely research what they are interested in or learning in class. Your child will be given a theme and your child will select their own topic correlating with that theme.

4. Procedures Step 1 – Select a topic within the theme.
Step 2 – Research your topic and write a report using at least 10 new facts learned about your topic. Facts may not be copied from the Internet. You must write the facts in your own words in a report about the topic.
Step 3 – Add a decorative border around written text or on slides that relates to your topic.
Step 4 – Include illustrations related to your topic.
Step 5 – Cite your sources from your research.
