Going beyond information found in sources
1. Do you want to have the students make connections among topics they have already studied or something that is important or relevant to them in their lives today?
2. Ooooooh—I wonder if the kids will just cut and paste information they find in sources? How do you want (or do you) the students to go beyond the information they find?

“How do we ensure that every child has access to the skills and experiences needed to become a full participant in the
