Enhancing Research Skills with Elementary Students

This presentation by Becky Crowder and Dea Borneman at the Missouri Association of School Librarians Conference outlines effective strategies for enhancing research skills among elementary students. Focusing on a comprehensive integrated research project, the speakers emphasize collaboration between educators and librarians. Through a structured timeline, students engage in selecting a scientist, conducting research, and presenting their findings. Key skills enhanced include information literacy, writing, and oral presentation. The project culminates in a "Night of Notables," fostering a creative and interactive learning experience.
