Students tend to dread research projects—with their limited choice of topics, required formats, and minimal opportunity for original thought. Who can blame them? Cathy Fraser believes that school research projects should be less like busywork and more like police investigations. In Love the Questions she describes ways to engage middle and secondary students from the outset, honoring their curiosity and passion. Accessible and story filled, this book provides strategies to capture the excitement of genuine inquiry in your classroom. Learn how to: embrace inquiry, curiosity, and exploration; teach students to question; develop authentic projects that include surveys, experiments, and interviews; partner with school librarians as educational support for teachers and students; and assess skills, not memorization. Mini-lessons, practice activities, graphic organizers, and examples of student work help you turn research projects into creative, exciting investigations for your students.
