What a privilege to be a part of this family!! Do you know everything you should about the early college model? What about Delaware State University?
Task: Your job is to INDIVIDUALLY research either the early college high school model/program or Delaware State University and create a mini research paper.
______________________________________________________________________________
Step 1: EACH PERSON is to choose either the early college high school model/program or Delaware State University and complete your brainstorming. Fold a sheet of paper in half, and list every word that comes to your mind when you think about your choice.
Step 2: On the bottom half of that paper, create a table with three columns:
Label column 1: MUST use
Label column 2: SHOULD use
Label column 3. SHOULD NOT use
Categorize the words from your brainstorm list into words you MUST use to find good information, words you SHOULD use to find good information, and words you SHOULD NOT use. Place them in the appropriate column.
Step 3: Create five or more questions about your topic to which you want to find the answer. List them on the back of your paper at the top. NUMBER THE QUESTIONS!!
For example: How many Early College High Schools are there?
Step 4: Now the research begins! Using your MUST USE and SHOULD USE keywords, research your topic by looking for answers to your questions. Under your questions, record the information your find THAT ANSWERS A QUESTION and write the number of the question it answers IN THE LEFT MARGIN. Be sure to site the sources!!!
Step 5: Narrow your focus by looking at what information you have found and which questions have the most support/evidence. From this, create two thesis statements: a list and an umbrella. Record these after your research.
