Thank you to all who came to watch our 6th & 7th year scholars give their presentations on Thursday night! Research Night was the culmination of a multi-week investigation into a topic surrounding the theme, Historical Events. Students used an inquiry-based research method to develop and support their thesis statements.
The expository paper included 3-5 pages of writing, in-text citations, transitions, an interesting introduction, and a summative conclusion. Skills such as locating reliable resources, word and sentence variation, organizing information, and paraphrasing were included.
For their presentation of 5-10 minutes, students were asked to use the research that was relative and interesting to their topics to achieve the answer to the question, “What do I want my audience to walk away knowing?” The visual component to their presentations included audio clips, video segments, pictures, and some quotations relating to the topic. The students focused on their voices being the main focus for information and doing as little reading as they could.
The Middle School teachers are incredibly proud of the students showcasing their individuality in their topics. Congratulations!
