 * **__Brief lesson/unit Summary/Description__ ** ||
 *  In this introductory lesson titled "Effective Researching", it will allow students to brainstorm possible questions that could apply themselves for future research projects. The researchers will work cooperatively to compile a variety of possible questions that will be applicable to future research that will be taking place. Once the students have generated the questions, they will use technology tools to present to the other groups what they came up with.

 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">To introduce the the lesson, the teacher will guide students through a discussion of ways that they generate questions in their everyday lives, such as where to go eat or what groceries to buy or what to make for dinner. Once the students have made some connections, the teacher will lead into the learning target for the day, how to brainstorm questions for research on a topic. The teacher will provide students with a research topic to generate questions for (ie. rainforest animals). The students will meet in cooperative groups to generate questions that can be used for research on a specific topic. The will have to determine a way to record their questions and disseminate the generated information to their peers. They can select their choice of ways to present the information, whether it be using technology tools or components from blooms taxonomy.

|| <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; font-size: 10pt;"> The students will use discussion, graphic organizers, technology, questioning and visual aids. || __Graphic Organizers__- the students will create a graphic organizer to organize their generated questions __Technology-__ the teacher will use technology tools to dissemination the lesson information to students, students will choose if their group would like to use technology tools to present their generated questions __Questionin__g- the teacher will ask the students to answer the question "Why is doing research important for the discovery of a topic?" __Visual Aids__- rubrics, examples of work <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">
