Looking again in an 8th grade English classroom

Abstract

This project is essentially a unit plan which could be used in a typical 8th grade English classroom. All the lessons and activities in this plan, however, are inspired by educational theories. The two major focuses of the unit are teaching students to question the world around them and guiding them through all components of the writings process. To accomplish this, students will use a variety of learning strategies and resources in the process of completing their own research papers.
