[LM_NET] TAR: GEN: The value of student research

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

Hello Friends,

I am putting together a day long inservice for K-5 teachers who have 
a new mandatory research component in their curriculum.  Of course, 
much of the day will be hands-on for them as they plan their 
projects, but I will be giving an opening "lecture"/presentation on 
both the value and necessity of student research as well as the nuts 
and bolts of process.

Does anyone have any articles to recommend to me, any books I should 
read and quote, any quotes?  And are there other children's books 
about the research project that I might reference besides my own R is 
for Research and Our Librarian Won't Tell Us ANYTHING?

I'll gladly post a hit.

Best wishes and happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Toni
