Research Project – Complete Careers Packet

Description

In this research portfolio, students explore a career. They present their findings through a variety of creative written and artistic projects, including writing a resume. This process develops important research skills like evaluating sources, citing and paraphrasing evidence, and analyzing claims. Students are engaged and excited as they present their results in an alternative to a formal paper.

This is a complete research project based on the Big6 Style, differentiated to meet the needs of your high-achievers as well as struggling readers, LEP students, and EC students.

***You can reuse several of these components for other projects, research, or presentations (the evaluation sheets, for example).****
