As students learn the important skill of responsibly researching for their writing, we at VariQuest have put together a 42-page booklet, split into two parts (to make it easier to digest and teach!) and this first part focuses on the research portion of the process.
From choosing a topic, to learning to paraphrase, to writing a thesis, these lessons are designed in a writers'-workshop-style to immerse students in every important step of writing a research paper. Using the example of The Great Barrier Reef, each lesson is paired with a handful of helpful printables - including anchor charts, discussion-prompts, and more!
Part 1 of How to Write a Research Paper explores the research portion of the writing process, guiding students in grades 5-7 through independently gathering information to write a paper on a chosen topic. Developed in partnership with Cathy Henry of The Curriculum Corner, students will come away with plenty of research and sources to begin part 2 of the journey - The Writing Process.
