Guided Research in Middle School: Mystery in the Media Center
Harrington, LaDawna
Linworth
Using this inquiry-based process allows the teacher and librarian to assign mystery topics to individual students so they can conduct independent research on high-interest subjects. The book provides the tools and strategies teachers and librarians need to help students think and rethink methods of gathering and organizing information to solve complex research problems. These twelve, action-packed lessons guide students in using all types of library resources to meet their research needs.
