Writing ResourcesLesson plan: structure of research paper introductions. To learn about structure and narrative signal phrases by reordering excerpts of sample introductions Estimated TimeWork completed before class. Optional: Students write one paragraph for their own research paper. - Review the structure of an introduction (for instance "inverted funnel," i.e., general to specific topics). An introduction should teach readers enough about the subject to read the paper, and should lead them through the topics to the experiment.
- Hand out an excerpted introduction of a scientific paper, which includes the first and last sentences of each paragraph (together) in a jumbled order. Students use the principles of structure described above, and signal phrases that might connect paragraphs, to put the excerpted paragraphs in order. For instance, a final sentence in one paragraph might describe a problem, and an opening sentence in another paragraph might begin to solve that problem. It is possible to use full paragraphs, but this requires a substantial investment of reading time in class.
- Use this ordering exercise to discuss how transitions and signal phrases work in this kind of introduction.
- If students have written a paragraph, have them write practice signal and linking phrases. If all students are writing on the same topic, they might write follow-up sentences for each other based on how their paragraphs ended.

Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach. Conduct short research projects to answer a question, drawing on several sources and refocusing the inquiry when appropriate. Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources; assess the credibility of each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and providing basic bibliographic information for sources. - Begin by asking the class to tell you what an outline is and to name one instance when creating an outline would be useful. Write their ideas on the board.
- Now play the video lesson How to Write an Outline for an Essay or Research Paper for the class, pausing at 00:53.
- Do any of the students know the differences between an alphanumeric outline and a web outline? Discuss this as a class, once again writing their key points on the board.
- Now play the rest of the video lesson for the class.
- Now do the students understand the differences between alphanumeric and web outlines? How would these help when conducting research? Review these concepts as a class now.
- Which type of outline is more common?
- How many of us have tried both types? For those who have, is there a preference for one type over the other?
- Should an outline be a required first step in research? Why or why not?
- Have the students pick their favorite place in the world.
- This selection will become the focus of a research project.
- Now have them select one of the two types of outlines to create as an early step in their project.
- Once they have selected the type of outline they will complete, ask them to gather facts on their selected topic.
- Once they have finished gathering information, they should follow the information provided in the video lesson to complete their outline.
- When all students have finished their outlines, have them present them to the class.
- When each student has presented their outline, have the class provide feedback to the student on the content of outline. Is this information adequate for completing a paper on the topic? How will the organization of the outline translate into a paper?
- Students should use this feedback along with their outline to draft a research paper on their selected topic.
- Have students read a formal research study and then create either an alphanumeric or web outline based on what they've read.
- Ask students to research and report on their favorite celebrity.

Teaching the research paper requires various tools.](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ResearchBig-1-750x480.jpg) Teaching research papers with high school students? Teaching students how to write a research paper is an important part of an ELA class. Here are guidelines to make this writing unit a success. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan Teaching research papers with high school students requires teaching ethical research. Teaching students how to write a research paper includes following the writing process, organizing student essays, & connecting gramamr to writing. Conferencing with students makes teaching research papers easier. This process of how to teach research to high school students walks through research paper lesson plans. Teaching the research paper in high school English classes meets writing standards.](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ResearchPin-1.jpg) Lawyers, political organizers, advertisers, real estate agents: most jobs require ethical research and then a written report. As a citizen, I research concepts important to my community and family. As knowledge in our world grows, student will only have more reasons to be ethical digital citizens. Providing students with a sustainable foundation is a humbling responsibility. Teachers know that teaching students how to write a research paper is important. While teaching students how to research, I share those sentiments with them. I want students to know I take research seriously, and my expectation is that they will as well. My research paper lesson plans take into account the seriousness of ethical research. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan prepare your high school writing unit](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Research7-300x300.jpg) What is the best way to teach research papers to students?The best way to teach research papers to students is by breaking down the process into manageable steps. Start with teaching them how to choose a topic, conduct research, and create an outline/list/graphic organizer. Then guide them in writing drafts, revising and editing their papers, and properly citing sources. Even after teaching for a decade, I sometimes overwhelm myself with this duty. I handle teaching research papers with four ideas in my mind. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan outline expectations for high school writers](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Research9-300x300.jpg) Provide clear expectations.Idea one, be clear. A feeling I always hated as a student was the unknown . Sure, part of the learning process is not knowing everything and making mistakes. I, as the teacher, don’t want to be the source of frustration though. I never want my classes to wander down a path that won’t advance them toward our end goal: a well-researched paper. Part of teaching research skills to high school students is providing clear expectations. As writing in the ELA classroom becomes more digital, I simply give writers tools on our online learning platform. That way, I can remind them to check a certain section or page as we collaborate on their writing. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan Research lesson plans high school: include a writing overview for expectations.](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Research1-300x300.jpg) Give a writing overview.Idea two, provide an overview. Every teacher grades a little differently. Sometimes, terminology differs. Throw in the stress of research, and you might have a classroom of overwhelmed students. An overview before teaching research papers can relax everyone! I start every writing unit with clear expectations, terminology, and goals. I cover a presentation with students, and then I upload it to Google Classroom. Students know to consult that presentation for clarity. Initially, covering the basics may seem wasteful, but it saves all of us time because students know my expectations. Furthermore, parents and tutors appreciate my sharing that information. As students work independently (inside or outside of class), they can take it upon themselves to consult expectations. Their responsibility with this prepares them for their futures. Finally, having established that overview with students during virtual classes was invaluable. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan Research lesson plans high school: give students an overview.](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Research2-300x300.jpg) Show an overview of research.Idea three, clearly explain research. Before you begin teaching students how to research, outline what strong research looks like. You might consider these questions: - What (if any) secondary sources will I accept? What about Wikipedia?
- Should students use a balance of books and online material? Do they have access to books?
- Are dates for certain topics important? Will I not accept research from before a certain date?
I’m not answering these questions for you, but I’ve seen teachers provide such guidelines while teaching research skills to high school students. Whatever parameters you have for teaching the research paper, share those with students. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan domain-specific vocabulary](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Research8-300x300.jpg) Define domain-specific vocabulary.Idea four, don’t assume classes share the same domain-specific vocabulary. High school classes are likely familiar with the writing process, yet the research process brings more vocabulary with which they might not be familiar. Providing definitions for the most basic concepts enables me to walk through expectations and clarify concepts. Examples might include: - Informational text
- Search engine
- Credible sources
- Claim, counterclaim
- Research question
- Journal articles
Plus, by providing definitions to terms, scaffolding occurs naturally. Academic writing has terms we teachers might use casually, but some students maybe have not heard of them. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan Add this revision and editing sheet to your high school writing unit. Perfect addition to any Writing curriculum high school.](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/WritingAssFree.jpg) How can we model ethical research?After outlining expectations to young writers, we begin research. Some schools rely on Google Scholar, and others use Explora or EBSCO. Sign students into your databases, and run them through the program. I stress to young writers that conducting oneself with honesty and integrity is crucial to writing. When teaching research papers with high school students, I connect these ethics to their very near futures. Aside from the basics of documenting and citing, I highlight these two points. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan Teaching the research paper will require teaching thorough research.](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Research3-300x300.jpg) - Citing material. This includes direct quotes and paraphrasing. I review both of those concepts throughout our research and writing. The majority of a paper should be the writer’s thoughts, supported by research. Students need those concepts repeated, and they are important, so I spend time emphasizing them.
Often, I turn the basics of research into a writing mini lesson . Modeling ethical research is a very specific part of ELA classes. I understand that other classes require research and that parents might teach research skills as well. Still, to have a functioning society, students must view relevant information with critical eyes. Teaching young citizens how to write a research paper includes clear guidelines for research and one-on-one conferencing. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan Teaching research papers with high school students requires teaching ethical research. Teaching students how to write a research paper includes following the writing process, organizing student essays, & connecting gramamr to writing. Conferencing with students makes teaching research papers easier. This process of how to teach research to high school students walks through research paper lesson plans. Teaching the research paper in high school English classes meets writing standards.](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ResearchPin-5-1.jpg) How can we encourage strong writing?Hopefully, students write with passion. Hopefully, they want to show or prove their statements. Teaching students how to write a research paper is easier when students enjoy their topics. I cover grammar with students (all year), and I always make the connection for them to implement those lessons. Teaching them to write a research paper requires some focus on writing skills. Primarily, they will work on strong verbs and syntax. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan Teaching research papers will require a discussion of verb use](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Research5-300x300.jpg) Look at verbs.Students possess strong verbs in their vocabularies. Sometimes in writing, humans create a fast rough draft, myself included. Every verb is a linking verb, and every sentence reads subject + linking verb + predicate adjective. (Nothing is wrong with a linking verb, but writers should break from the mold.) When I see that a paper can be improved with strong verbs, we conference about ways to improve the verbs without thesaurus abuse. Ask students to pick their least favorite paragraph in a research paper and to highlight every verb . Chances are, they are not conveying their message because of weak verbs. Help them turn the predicate adjectives into verbs or think of an action that will convey their meaning. Additionally as you continue teaching students how to research, you’ll cross strong verbs in research. Point out those verbs to your classes. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan Teaching students how to write a research paper requires sentence structure lessons.](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Research6-300x300.jpg) Examine syntax.Just as every sentence shouldn’t contain a linking verb, not every sentence should be a simple sentence. Sentence syntax takes practice, and often teamwork! Ask students to provide a sentence that needs improvement. Break the sentence down into phrases and clauses. (If it is a simple sentence, ask for another sentence to attach.) What is the best arrangement? What is the student’s goal? Would a conjunctive adverb lead readers to a conclusion? What if a subordinating conjunction started the sentence, or, should the dependent clause come second in the complex sentence? Play with the language of papers! By connecting grammar to writing, you have empowered learners to improve their writing. Sentence structure is also part of teaching students how to write a research paper because the information must be factual. Sometimes students report information incorrectly, and sometimes, their sentence structure is to blame. Focus on a return to simple syntax for ethical research, and then work on sentence diversity if possible. All parts of an ELA classroom fit together like puzzle pieces, and when teaching research papers, that neatly assembled puzzle sits on display. By giving classes clear expectations, you are ready to guide them through ethical research and through strengthening their writing. Teaching the research paper is a large task, so you should know what you want to accomplish. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan scaffold writing units](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Research10-300x300.jpg) Is scaffolding teaching research papers possible?Overall, a research unit takes me 2-3 weeks with high school students. Every teacher has different methodologies, but if I allow writing research papers for about a month, writers become bored. Fifteen working days for research, revision, and publishing is my average time frame. Going longer, and different aspects fall apart, and we lose momentum. Scaffolding is built into our days. Outline the writing process with your calendar, and add days that follow the writing process. Pieces to consider: ![how to write a research paper lesson plan writing errors](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Research11-300x300.jpg) Scaffold writing errors.Overall, writing errors are an inevitable part of the learning process. As teachers, it is crucial that we address these errors in a way that not only corrects them but also helps students understand why they occurred in the first place. When it comes to research papers, grammatical errors can significantly affect the credibility and clarity of the information presented. One effective way to scaffold writing errors is by focusing on the actual problems that classes have in their papers. When we conference, I jot down common errors and then cover them as a class. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan editing and revising days](https://languageartsclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Research12-300x300.jpg) Include revising and editing days.Young writers should take ownership of the writing process which includes revising and editing. This can be achieved by dedicating specific days in the research unit for revising and editing. By allotting time for these crucial steps, writers will learn to critically analyze their work and make necessary improvements. During the revision phase, students can focus on the overall structure and organization of their research paper. They should evaluate if their arguments are clear and logical, if the evidence supports their claims effectively, and if there is a smooth flow of ideas throughout the paper. This stage allows them to refine their content and ensure that it aligns with their desired objectives. After revising, students should move toward publishing and sharing with their peers. Your turn, writing teachers: What questions do you have left?All activities mentioned in this post (except the common errors bundle) are included in my writing bundle for freshmen and sophomores .

It is not fair to say that no one writes anymore. Just about everyone writes text messages, brief emails, or social media posts every single day. Yet, most people don't have a lot of practice with the formal, organized writing required for a good academic research paper. This guide contains links to a variety of resources that can help demystify the process. Some of these resources are intended for teachers; they contain exercises, activities, and teaching strategies. Other resources are intended for direct use by students who are struggling to write papers, or are looking for tips to make the process go more smoothly. The resources in this section are designed to help students understand the different types of research papers, the general research process, and how to manage their time. Below, you'll find links from university writing centers, the trusted Purdue Online Writing Lab, and more. What is an Academic Research Paper?"Genre and the Research Paper" (Purdue OWL) There are different types of research papers. Different types of scholarly questions will lend themselves to one format or another. This is a brief introduction to the two main genres of research paper: analytic and argumentative. "7 Most Popular Types of Research Papers" (Personal-writer.com) This resource discusses formats that high school students commonly encounter, such as the compare and contrast essay and the definitional essay. Please note that the inclusion of this link is not an endorsement of this company's paid service. How to Prepare and Plan Out Writing a Research PaperTeachers can give their students a step-by-step guide like these to help them understand the different steps of the research paper process. These guides can be combined with the time management tools in the next subsection to help students come up with customized calendars for completing their papers. "Ten Steps for Writing Research Papers" (American University) This resource from American University is a comprehensive guide to the research paper writing process, and includes examples of proper research questions and thesis topics. "Steps in Writing a Research Paper" (SUNY Empire State College) This guide breaks the research paper process into 11 steps. Each "step" links to a separate page, which describes the work entailed in completing it. How to Manage Time EffectivelyThe links below will help students determine how much time is necessary to complete a paper. If your sources are not available online or at your local library, you'll need to leave extra time for the Interlibrary Loan process. Remember that, even if you do not need to consult secondary sources, you'll still need to leave yourself ample time to organize your thoughts. "Research Paper Planner: Timeline" (Baylor University) This interactive resource from Baylor University creates a suggested writing schedule based on how much time a student has to work on the assignment. "Research Paper Planner" (UCLA) UCLA's library offers this step-by-step guide to the research paper writing process, which also includes a suggested planning calendar. There's a reason teachers spend a long time talking about choosing a good topic. Without a good topic and a well-formulated research question, it is almost impossible to write a clear and organized paper. The resources below will help you generate ideas and formulate precise questions. "How to Select a Research Topic" (Univ. of Michigan-Flint) This resource is designed for college students who are struggling to come up with an appropriate topic. A student who uses this resource and still feels unsure about his or her topic should consult the course instructor for further personalized assistance. "25 Interesting Research Paper Topics to Get You Started" (Kibin) This resource, which is probably most appropriate for high school students, provides a list of specific topics to help get students started. It is broken into subsections, such as "paper topics on local issues." "Writing a Good Research Question" (Grand Canyon University) This introduction to research questions includes some embedded videos, as well as links to scholarly articles on research questions. This resource would be most appropriate for teachers who are planning lessons on research paper fundamentals. "How to Write a Research Question the Right Way" (Kibin) This student-focused resource provides more detail on writing research questions. The language is accessible, and there are embedded videos and examples of good and bad questions. It is important to have a rough hypothesis or thesis in mind at the beginning of the research process. People who have a sense of what they want to say will have an easier time sorting through scholarly sources and other information. The key, of course, is not to become too wedded to the draft hypothesis or thesis. Just about every working thesis gets changed during the research process. CrashCourse Video: "Sociology Research Methods" (YouTube) Although this video is tailored to sociology students, it is applicable to students in a variety of social science disciplines. This video does a good job demonstrating the connection between the brainstorming that goes into selecting a research question and the formulation of a working hypothesis. "How to Write a Thesis Statement for an Analytical Essay" (YouTube) Students writing analytical essays will not develop the same type of working hypothesis as students who are writing research papers in other disciplines. For these students, developing the working thesis may happen as a part of the rough draft (see the relevant section below). "Research Hypothesis" (Oakland Univ.) This resource provides some examples of hypotheses in social science disciplines like Political Science and Criminal Justice. These sample hypotheses may also be useful for students in other soft social sciences and humanities disciplines like History. When grading a research paper, instructors look for a consistent methodology. This section will help you understand different methodological approaches used in research papers. Students will get the most out of these resources if they use them to help prepare for conversations with teachers or discussions in class. "Types of Research Designs" (USC) A "research design," used for complex papers, is related to the paper's method. This resource contains introductions to a variety of popular research designs in the social sciences. Although it is not the most intuitive site to read, the information here is very valuable. "Major Research Methods" (YouTube) Although this video is a bit on the dry side, it provides a comprehensive overview of the major research methodologies in a format that might be more accessible to students who have struggled with textbooks or other written resources. "Humanities Research Strategies" (USC) This is a portal where students can learn about four methodological approaches for humanities papers: Historical Methodologies, Textual Criticism, Conceptual Analysis, and the Synoptic method. "Selected Major Social Science Research Methods: Overview" (National Academies Press) This appendix from the book Using Science as Evidence in Public Policy , printed by National Academies Press, introduces some methods used in social science papers. "Organizing Your Social Sciences Research Paper: 6. The Methodology" (USC) This resource from the University of Southern California's library contains tips for writing a methodology section in a research paper. How to Determine the Best Methodology for YouAnyone who is new to writing research papers should be sure to select a method in consultation with their instructor. These resources can be used to help prepare for that discussion. They may also be used on their own by more advanced students. "Choosing Appropriate Research Methodologies" (Palgrave Study Skills) This friendly and approachable resource from Palgrave Macmillan can be used by students who are just starting to think about appropriate methodologies. "How to Choose Your Research Methods" (NFER (UK)) This is another approachable resource students can use to help narrow down the most appropriate methods for their research projects. The resources in this section introduce the process of gathering scholarly sources and collecting evidence. You'll find a range of material here, from introductory guides to advanced explications best suited to college students. Please consult the LitCharts How to Do Academic Research guide for a more comprehensive list of resources devoted to finding scholarly literature. Google Scholar Students who have access to library websites with detailed research guides should start there, but people who do not have access to those resources can begin their search for secondary literature here. "Gathering Appropriate Information" (Texas Gateway) This resource from the Texas Gateway for online resources introduces students to the research process, and contains interactive exercises. The level of complexity is suitable for middle school, high school, and introductory college classrooms. "An Overview of Quantitative and Qualitative Data Collection Methods" (NSF) This PDF from the National Science Foundation goes into detail about best practices and pitfalls in data collection across multiple types of methodologies. "Social Science Methods for Data Collection and Analysis" (Swiss FIT) This resource is appropriate for advanced undergraduates or teachers looking to create lessons on research design and data collection. It covers techniques for gathering data via interviews, observations, and other methods. "Collecting Data by In-depth Interviewing" (Leeds Univ.) This resource contains enough information about conducting interviews to make it useful for teachers who want to create a lesson plan, but is also accessible enough for college juniors or seniors to make use of it on their own. There is no "one size fits all" outlining technique. Some students might devote all their energy and attention to the outline in order to avoid the paper. Other students may benefit from being made to sit down and organize their thoughts into a lengthy sentence outline. The resources in this section include strategies and templates for multiple types of outlines. "Topic vs. Sentence Outlines" (UC Berkeley) This resource introduces two basic approaches to outlining: the shorter topic-based approach, and the longer, more detailed sentence-based approach. This resource also contains videos on how to develop paper paragraphs from the sentence-based outline. "Types of Outlines and Samples" (Purdue OWL) The Purdue Online Writing Lab's guide is a slightly less detailed discussion of different types of outlines. It contains several sample outlines. "Writing An Outline" (Austin C.C.) This resource from a community college contains sample outlines from an American history class that students can use as models. "How to Structure an Outline for a College Paper" (YouTube) This brief (sub-2 minute) video from the ExpertVillage YouTube channel provides a model of outline writing for students who are struggling with the idea. "Outlining" (Harvard) This is a good resource to consult after completing a draft outline. It offers suggestions for making sure your outline avoids things like unnecessary repetition. As with outlines, rough drafts can take on many different forms. These resources introduce teachers and students to the various approaches to writing a rough draft. This section also includes resources that will help you cite your sources appropriately according to the MLA, Chicago, and APA style manuals. "Creating a Rough Draft for a Research Paper" (Univ. of Minnesota) This resource is useful for teachers in particular, as it provides some suggested exercises to help students with writing a basic rough draft. Rough Draft Assignment (Duke of Definition) This sample assignment, with a brief list of tips, was developed by a high school teacher who runs a very successful and well-reviewed page of educational resources. "Creating the First Draft of Your Research Paper" (Concordia Univ.) This resource will be helpful for perfectionists or procrastinators, as it opens by discussing the problem of avoiding writing. It also provides a short list of suggestions meant to get students writing. Using Proper CitationsThere is no such thing as a rough draft of a scholarly citation. These links to the three major citation guides will ensure that your citations follow the correct format. Please consult the LitCharts How to Cite Your Sources guide for more resources. Chicago Manual of Style Citation Guide Some call The Chicago Manual of Style , which was first published in 1906, "the editors' Bible." The manual is now in its 17th edition, and is popular in the social sciences, historical journals, and some other fields in the humanities. APA Citation Guide According to the American Psychological Association, this guide was developed to aid reading comprehension, clarity of communication, and to reduce bias in language in the social and behavioral sciences. Its first full edition was published in 1952, and it is now in its sixth edition. MLA Citation Guide The Modern Language Association style is used most commonly within the liberal arts and humanities. The MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing was first published in 1985 and (as of 2008) is in its third edition. Any professional scholar will tell you that the best research papers are made in the revision stage. No matter how strong your research question or working thesis, it is not possible to write a truly outstanding paper without devoting energy to revision. These resources provide examples of revision exercises for the classroom, as well as tips for students working independently. "The Art of Revision" (Univ. of Arizona) This resource provides a wealth of information and suggestions for both students and teachers. There is a list of suggested exercises that teachers might use in class, along with a revision checklist that is useful for teachers and students alike. "Script for Workshop on Revision" (Vanderbilt University) Vanderbilt's guide for leading a 50-minute revision workshop can serve as a model for teachers who wish to guide students through the revision process during classtime. "Revising Your Paper" (Univ. of Washington) This detailed handout was designed for students who are beginning the revision process. It discusses different approaches and methods for revision, and also includes a detailed list of things students should look for while they revise. "Revising Drafts" (UNC Writing Center) This resource is designed for students and suggests things to look for during the revision process. It provides steps for the process and has a FAQ for students who have questions about why it is important to revise. Conferencing with Writing Tutors and InstructorsNo writer is so good that he or she can't benefit from meeting with instructors or peer tutors. These resources from university writing, learning, and communication centers provide suggestions for how to get the most out of these one-on-one meetings. "Getting Feedback" (UNC Writing Center) This very helpful resource talks about how to ask for feedback during the entire writing process. It contains possible questions that students might ask when developing an outline, during the revision process, and after the final draft has been graded. "Prepare for Your Tutoring Session" (Otis College of Art and Design) This guide from a university's student learning center contains a lot of helpful tips for getting the most out of working with a writing tutor. "The Importance of Asking Your Professor" (Univ. of Waterloo) This article from the university's Writing and Communication Centre's blog contains some suggestions for how and when to get help from professors and Teaching Assistants. Once you've revised your first draft, you're well on your way to handing in a polished paper. These resources—each of them produced by writing professionals at colleges and universities—outline the steps required in order to produce a final draft. You'll find proofreading tips and checklists in text and video form. "Developing a Final Draft of a Research Paper" (Univ. of Minnesota) While this resource contains suggestions for revision, it also features a couple of helpful checklists for the last stages of completing a final draft. Basic Final Draft Tips and Checklist (Univ. of Maryland-University College) This short and accessible resource, part of UMUC's very thorough online guide to writing and research, contains a very basic checklist for students who are getting ready to turn in their final drafts.

The Brown Bag Teacher Teach the Children. Love the Children. Change the World. January 12, 2020 Organizing Research in 1st & 2nd GradeIndependent research in 1st and 2nd Grade is not something that just magically happens. Organizing writing is not something that just happens automatically. Both of these skills have to be explicitly modeled and scaffolded for students. The great news? When given the opportunity, students rise. The Common Core Standards ask our 1st and 2nd grade students to “Participate in shared research and writing projects”, as well as, “…gather information from provided sources to answer a question.” Our students are very capable of participating in real-world research with the appropriate scaffolds, supports, and explicit instruction. But how do we get there? Where Do We Get Our Research in 1st & 2nd Grade?Initially, research in 1st and 2nd Grade begins with books ( Pebble Go and National Graphic Kids are some of our favorites). I’ll also print articles and books from Reading AZ and Read Works if they are available. (If you have RAZ Kids, then you can just assign the Reading AZ texts to specific students and they can access them online. #savethetrees). Starting with print resources help me better manage the research and allows us to learn basic research skills before integrating technology. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan](https://brownbagteacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/ResearchBooks-scaled.jpg) Then, we slowly branch to ebooks using EPIC . I’m able to create topic specific collections for students and share them directly to their EPIC accounts. From there, we model using videos from YouTube ( SciShow Kids ). Now, the SciShow Kids videos are on Epic , so it’s even safer!! (Note – These are 6 and 7 year olds. In my classroom, they will not have the privilege or responsibility to freely roam the internet or YouTube.) Finally we branch into online databases (all KY schools have free access to Kentucky Virtual Library) and teacher-chosen websites. I link specific websites students are allowed to visit from Google Classroom. As we explore these online resources, we have frequent conversations about internet safety and internet expectations. When online, our choices should always help us become better readers, writers, and humans. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan](https://brownbagteacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/ResponsibleTechnologyAnchorChart-scaled.jpg) Scaffolding research collection in this way allows me the opportunity to model expectations for each resource and how to use it, as well as, ensure students are safe. ![](//omraadeinfo.online/777/templates/cheerup1/res/banner1.gif) Why Organize Research in 1st & 2nd Grade?Organizing and structuring writing is not a skill that is innate within students. Students have to be explicitly taught executive functioning skills – such as organization. Additionally, when we research I don’t want students just copying down an entire book or webpage. The world’s most random collection of information will not be helpful in sharing our learning down the road. Researching in 1st and 2nd Grade means we invest the time to learn, read, model, practice, and tweak together. When teaching students to gather and organize information, there are DOZENS of structures for doing it. As a teacher, I typically pick 3-4 different ways that are developmentally appropriate for my 1st and 2nd graders, as well as, lend themselves to the types of research we will be doing. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan](https://brownbagteacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Ways-to-GatherOrganize-Research.png) Planning of InstructionReading and writing are forever connected and they should be. We can leverage each one to ensure that students see both subjects in context, as well as, part of their daily lives. Additionally, as I am preparing for our research unit , we will leverage whatever we are learning in science and/or social studies. This ensures students have the background to do specific research about a topic, rather than “All About Monkeys”. As new strategies for organizing research are explored we do not abandon all the others. Rather, the strategies we learn are ones that can easily be combined. Sketch noting is the best example of this. It can be a part of a concept map, questions and answers, and/or creating subtopics. As I introduce ways to organize writing , I will typically do it as a part of our reading or science mini-lessons. The strategy is modeled in the context of content and then, we practice again together during writing. Next, students typically work in partners to try the strategy out and ultimately, they work independently. Some students will need more teacher support in independently researching and that’s okay. Sketch NotingSketch noting is typically the first way students to collect research. It is the most kid-friendly and non-threatening. As a class, we read a text from our science or social studies learning and then, consider the big ideas. (At this point, we haven’t talked about developing a research question, so our information gathering is broad.) We talk about the ideas and what symbols or pictures represent them. Then, we discuss importance of including captions that contain important vocabulary, people, ideas, and numbers. Sketch notes don’t need to be in complete sentences, so it’s fine to write single words, bullets, or fragments. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan](https://brownbagteacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/SketchNoting-scaled.jpg) Teaching students to create subtopics is a great way to start narrowing the research field. From all-the-random-facts to these-facts-fit-the-subtopics-I-have-chosen, students are to start differentiating between important information and “fun extras”. The use of subheadings is easily modeled using the table of contents in informational texts. We spend time looking at these texts, noticing what subtopics the author chose to write about, and what types of information he/she included (and didn’t include). As students choose subtopics, we put each subtopic as a heading on a different page in their writing notebook. Then, research collected for each subtopic is placed on the page specific to the learning. This can be done using bullets or sticky notes. Although expensive, I prefer the sticky-note route. It allows the details to be easily manipulated/moved around and seem less daunting for students who are reluctant writers. Concept MappingAdditionally, concept mapping is very similar to creating subtopics. Ultimately, this strategy becomes a little nebulous. Often times I will introduce it before subtopics sometimes after. There is no hard and fast rule. If taught after subtopics, we will create concept maps with ALL the information and then, create subtopics into which to sort the information. If teaching after subtopics, we natural embed subtopics into our mind maps. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan](https://brownbagteacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/ConceptMapping.png) The student sample belows shows a general collection of information with some sketch noting. That’s okay! It is a signal to me, as the teacher, we may need more support in structuring our thinking or we may not be focused on a specific research question. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan](https://brownbagteacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/ResearchMindMappingSample-scaled.jpg) Question & AnswerHands-down the question/answer strategy is THE most effective for helping students explore specific research questions and avoiding the “All About” book filled with lots of random facts. To begin this strategy, we read an informational text aloud and identify a sentence or idea in the text that we want to learn more about. We write this sentence or details from the text on a sticky note and stick it at the top of a page in our writing journal. From there, we make a bulleted list of questions from that detail. What do we want to know more about? What would our reader want to know more about? ![how to write a research paper lesson plan](https://brownbagteacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Screen-Shot-2020-01-11-at-10.54.24-PM.png) Now, as we read/listen/write, these become our research questions. This strategy is gold because it means students are driving the inquiry, we are looking at something specific, and the questions will determine which sources we need. Therefore, using multiple information sources become authentic. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan](https://brownbagteacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/AskingQuestionstoGuideResearch-scaled.jpg) We Have the Information…Now What?Now that we have completed research on several different topics, questions, and/or questions, we are ready to publish and share our learning. The science or social studies unit our learning aligned with determine how the information is shared. Sometimes we use Google Slides, paragraphs , letters, and sometimes we’ll share our ideas in a speech. Research in 1st and 2nd Grade is a tough task. There will be missteps – not so great mini-lessons, skipping of steps, moving too fast, hard-to-find-research topics – and that’s okay. All of these things help us, as teachers, and students grow. Research in the real-world is not perfect, and it shouldn’t be in our classrooms either. So, my challenge to you – offer students real opportunities to learn and research without over scaffolding. Be brave in teaching students’ strategies that allow choice, flexibility, and curiosity to reign. You’ve got this, friends. ![how to write a research paper lesson plan](https://brownbagteacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/OrganizingWritingPin.png) Related Posts![how to write a research paper lesson plan](https://brownbagteacher.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/photo2-11.jpg) Reader Interactions![how to write a research paper lesson plan ' src=](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5d07666185dadaeab7c677b8adc67b3a?s=48&d=http%3A%2F%2Fbrownbagteacher.com%2Fwp-content%2Fthemes%2FBrownBagTeacher%2Fimages%2Favatar.png&r=g) April 22, 2024 at 4:51 am Thank you for providing a useful framework for using sketch notes as an information gathering tool, especially in the early stages of research before developing specific research questions.

The skill of writing a research paper doesn't just develop writing skills or focus on learning more about the subject at hand. It also teaches students to gather proper information to make informed decisions when faced with options in their lives. To catapult these critical thinking skills into play, we at VariQuest have put together a substantive lesson plan unit, split into two parts (to make it easier to digest and teach!) and this second and final portion focuses on the writing (and editing) portion of the process. Get Part 1: The Research Process here! From writing introductions and conclusions to proofreading to publishing, these lessons are designed in a writers'-workshop-style to guide students through all the important steps in writing a research paper.
