商品簡介
The latest volume in the The Dynamics of Writing Instruction Series, this book is focused specifically on teaching middle and high school students to prepare research reports. Using the structured process approach, it concentrates on preparing both argumentation research reports and those discussing literature. Conducting research where one both evaluates resources and cites them correctly is a new activity for many students, and the goal here is to help students do this in a coherent manner that links the sources into one central theme. As in all of the volumes in this series, having students focus on an area that they find personally interesting is encouraged. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
