Making Research Matter Lesley Roessing
Eighth-grade teacher Lesley Roessing designed an assignment that makes individual student research useful and accessible to the entire class. She outlines steps students take to create a guide to supplement their reading of Waiting for the Rain: A Novel of South Africa. She then builds on the research experience in another unit by addressing issues of style and voice through a collaborative research and creative writing project.
