Research | Connect, Extend, Challenge Research Phase: To research something means to purposefully look for valuable and viable information on a specific topic. The information found provides you, as the reader, with more knowledge about the topic. This information, along with your own experiences, provide you the opportunity to join the conversation about your topic. You can formulate your own conclusions, helping others see the topic in a new light. Research is a recursive process that allows for the rethinking, rephrasing, reimagining, and reframing of a topic. Research involves careful searching and, as the topic becomes more clear and simultaneously more complex, more and more searching. Successful research will create an enormous gap between what you knew at the beginning and what you understand at the end. This understanding can only be accomplished through reading; real reading means immersing yourself in the topics and experts. You should even go beyond this by thinking in new and divergent ways about your topic, by allowing the inevitable spiral of questions to emerge, by searching laterally for topics next to your topic, and by persisting. Research is an adventure. Step I: Consider your image in the context of the words we shared in our Do Now. Which ones seem to apply? Which are you interested in? Which would you need to know more about? Step II: Select a social topic related to the visual texts based on your responses to the questions in Step I. Step III: Research your topic using NewsELA. Step IV: Argument & Analysis | Cyberjournal After you have found and annotated your source, create a new cyberjournal. Your annotated paragraph needs to consist of the following components:
Do Now | Find your grouping for today's activity. Clear off your work space other than a writing utensil.
Silent Discussions | See, Think, Wonder Each person at the table will be given a different picture taken by Richard Misrach. For five minutes, you will quietly conduct a See, Think, Wonder on the image, annotating your thoughts directly onto the image itself.
Connect, Extend, Challenge At the end of the three minutes, every one in the group will pass their image to the left, receiving a new image from their right. This time, for three minutes, you will conduct a Connect, Extend, Challenge on the image, responding to the previous persons See, Think, Wonder.
Academic Discussion After we annotate each image, take your image and lay it on the ground in the middle of the room.
