Your upper elementary students can begin learning lifelong research skills! Teach kids the fundamentals of research using this seven-step model based on the Independent Investigation Method (IIM). This, the second volume of the Research in the Real Classroom series, modifies the IIM process for every skill level in your 3-5 classroom. It includes a CD of reproducible artwork and forms (both ready-to-use and customizable). The mini-lessons, teacher tips, and media center connections help you adapt each of the seven steps to any curriculum. Complete thematic units are also available. Virginia Morse and Cindy Nottage created IIM nineteen years ago after many frustrating attempts to bring research into the elementary classroom. After developing their unique process, they noticed their students were empowered by the concept of becoming special detectives. Almost twenty years later, IIM helps teachers in thousands of classrooms worldwide. As educational consultants, the authors continue to implement school-wide research programs and to share what they ve learned in conferences across the country.
