Research to Build and Present Knowledge
• CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.11-12.7 Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
What, according to this standard, is the definition and purpose of inquiry and research?

Thinking about Research in the Classroom
• Read the descriptions in the handout “Three Scenarios: Processes for Conducting Research”
• Use the following questions to guide your reading:
What do I notice about each of these approaches?
How do they differ from one another?
EngageNY.org 5
Discuss• Discuss these three processes at your tables,
with the following questions. What is the purpose and definition of research in
each scenario? How does each scenario address CCSS.ELA-
Literacy.W.7?
The Research Process• Reread Scenario 3 (Marisol)• Consider and discuss:
How does Marisol use inquiry to build knowledge about the topic of advertising?
How does Marisol decide what to research and how to go about it?

Developing Inquiry Questions
• Read “The History of Social Networking.”• As you read, annotate the text.
What stands out to me? What do I find interesting? What do I want to know more about? What don’t I understand?
EngageNY.org 9
Developing Inquiry Questions
• Take your annotations and together with a partner, try to write four potential inquiry questions.
• A good inquiry question: Is genuinely interesting Can be answered through research Is clear Suggests more questions (not “yes or no”) Not something you already think you know the
answer to

Developing Inquiry Questions
As a table, evaluate one or two questions from each pair using the Posing Inquiry Questions handout in your packet.

Reflection• How do these activities align to the writing
standards? • What is the risk of beginning research this
way? In what ways could this process go awry? How are we making sure students are constantly productive and moving forward?
