Finalizing InquiryStudents synthesize their information to determine what they have learned and what more they need to know about their area of investigation. They gather and analyze more information to complete their inquiry. |

- Addressing Inquiry Paths
-
Students review their notes and analysis across the sources to address one of their Inquiry Paths. Organizing Evidence: Students review and organize their research and analysis, establishing connections to address all the Inquiry Paths of their Research Frame.
Students can use the Forming EBC tool to build multi-source claims and develop an appropriate claim that addresses one of their Inquiry Paths into a written paragraph.
The EBC Criteria Checklist can be used to support the synthesis of evidence-based claims that address the Inquiry Path.
The Organizing Evidence-Based Claims tools (1 point,2 points and 3 points) helps students organize results of their findings, including their personal claims and the key ideas and information they have identified in the sources, into a more general claim that synthesizes their findings.
The Synthesizing EBC tool provides a place for students to write their claims.
- Evaluating Research
-
Students review and discuss their Research Frames and researched materials to determine relevance, coherence and sufficiency.
The Research Evaluation guides students in a process for evaluating their research, requiring feedback from their teacher and peers.
The Research Evaluation Checklist is used by teachers in teacher-student conferences.
- Refining and Extending Inquiry
-
Students refine and extend their scope of inquiry based on teacher and peer feedback
The Research Criteria Matrix outlines the key proficiencies and habits of the research process that students need to build. It is a tool that can be used to evaluate student performance. Student products can be examined for ability to set the direction for their research, pose inquiry questions and build a research base.
