Students then selected a "thick question" that they wanted to answer. A
"thick question" is one that is not easily answered using a single source.
"Thick questions" require deeper research using multiple resources and reading
strategies. Answers often are not specifically laid out, instead students need
to infer and draw conclusions when reading.
This is an exciting time! Students are working with topics of high
interest. Ask your child about their research. You will be surprised with the
information they will be able to share with you.
Students will "go public" with their projects at Mitchell's Inquiry Fair on Thursday, March 21st.
Stay tuned for more information about the upcoming inquiry fair.
