2. What is this? It’s a new district document developed for all areas of the curriculum that has been approved by Secondary Principals and Central Office Administration.
It provides an information literacy model of the various steps in the research process.
It addresses plagiarism and highlights the importance of avoiding it.
It offers a consistent form of research documentation. Over a year ago, Laura Seinfeld had meeting of ELA chairs and librarian to investigate how things were being done in the district as far as documentation, research papers. This led to an awareness of the importance of developing a consistent approach to documentation, the increasing tendency of students to plagiairize and discovering what might be an effective antidote. Thus, the information research model – specifically the Big6. This presentation is really an overview of some of the background on why we need this – it comes at a time when we are all feeling overwhelmed with testing and state demands but this is not an add on – it is an integral part of what we are already doing – just finding the vocabulary that is consistent.
