The topic for this research paper is – Think Pair Share
For this assignment, you will learn more about a particular literacy / student engagement strategy that affects students’ reading and/or writing. The objective of this lesson is to enhance both your research and expository writing skills, further your knowledge of teaching students to read, and gain insight on evidence-based instructional/literacy strategies that you may incorporate into your future classroom in order to teach all students to read regardless of their reading level – after all, everyone can be successful!
The research paper must:
*Include details about your chosen topic, which may include a detailed description of the strategy, how it is incorporated in the classroom, the effectiveness, how it promotes student engagement, etc.
*Follow APA guidelines – title page, running head, in-text citations, Works Cited page. I also recommend incorporating headings within the paper.
*3-5 pages of text, a title page, and a Works Cited page
The candidate must include information obtained from:
*Two sources (print or online)
*A teacher interview (this can be from the teacher interview assignment conducted earlier in the term, your Cooperating Teacher, or any other teacher)
* You may include information from at least one of the following as well: one of the webinars (links provided below) and/OR clinical observations conducted (does not necessarily have to be during this term) that connect to your chosen topic
*ALL sources must be cited correctly within the text as well as on the Works Cited page.
