Description: By investigating real-world questions or problems and developing creative products for real audiences (not just the class), students assume the roles of first-hand investigators, writers, artists, or other types of practicing professionals. Teachers provide guidance in how to plan, make decisions, manage, complete, and communicate the results of a research investigation. The author brings together the Talents Unlimited Model and the Enrichment Triad Model in a research-proven method that raises the completion rate and quality of products. This process takes the guesswork out of preparing students for and guiding students through a real-world project. Reproducible handouts, lesson ideas, and a sample project completed by two fourth grade girls make this resource easy to follow and easy to use.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 88-89).
