Lehman, an author, staff developer for elementary and middle schools, and former teacher and literacy coach, shows teachers how to teach research across all content areas to students in grades four through eight in a way that matters to them, makes them successful learners and leaders, and makes the research more student-driven and independent, in line with the Common Core State Standards. He explains how to teach students to narrow down topics and evaluate sources independently, note-take with purpose and gather domain-specific vocabulary, write to teach ideas and not regurgitate facts, craft organizing structures with their readers in mind, and cite sources. The final chapter illustrates how to put the strategies together into multi-week studies or short research projects. Included are samples of grade-level language used in teaching examples, content examples, differentiation ideas, extension strategies, and discussion of the Common Core State Standards.
