As 6th graders, they were CSI investigators, determining the culprit of the missing Marvin the Martian. As 7th graders, they are at it again! This time, they're investigating their teacher, gathering evidence using pictures, artifacts, and random information interspersed throughout the classroom. Why? To prepare for DBQs, of course. Good historians, good writers, good readers (and good scientists!) are investigators. They must take disparate information and compile it to make conclusions, to infer the truth.
As the year progresses, this is a skill that will be enhanced as students continue (GASP!) learning how to think!
