Unit 3: Researching to Deepen Understanding 11-12
This unit approaches research as an iterative inquiry process for deepening
understanding of a topic in order to develop an evidence-based perspective. The
materials structure this process for students with a comprehensive set of tools
and handouts. Teachers can use the unit framework as a sequence of activities to lead a class through the
investigation of various topics. The unit framework, handouts, and tools
are designed to work with any topic across all disciplines. Topic resource
repositories are also provided to help teachers model the process with a rich selection of sources,
as well as model tools and inquiry questions.
