Research guidance
The goal of this page is to assemble easy-to-use lesson plans to teach various research skills. Feel free to modify/adapt any plans to fit your students and units.
If you'd like to collaborate on a research-based lesson plan, feel free to contact Mr. Stapleton or Ms. Krol and we can help make the library resources available to you.
If you have a specific research skill you'd like to see a lesson plan for, let us know!
