Do you struggle with effectively teaching research and report writing?
It's a skill that typically requires a lot more guidance than we know how to or have the time to give for students to develop. This FULLY GUIDED RESEARCH PROJECT aims to create an opportunity for students to learn by doing while investigating the fabulously mysterious Bermuda Triangle.
Students will be guided through EVERY step of the process:
- Saturation, watching videos and reading articles
- Keyword searches on the internet
- Engaging research activities (scavenger hunt, video bingo, sorting)
- Highlighting relevant information
- Hook Writing
- Fully guided writing of each paragraph through a series of prompts
- Collaboration and Revision
- Writing a Bibliography
- Publishing
Seriously, every step is guided. Your result will be a thoroughly researched, well-formatted informational report.
Suitable for Grades 5-9 and possibly older if they could use a solid foundation in research techniques and report writing.
NOTE: Due to the nature of this study, ALL research is internet based. You must have access to the internet and YouTube. The project also requires printing of articles so that students can work with the text hands on. You can do it without a printer but it's much better with. Do not purchase if you will not be using the internet.

Reviews
This guided research paper was perfect for my 3 kids ages ranging from 12-16. My two book ends have dyslexia so writing has always been a challenge. This unit was so engaging,creative, organized, and with bite sized daily assignments. I was so impressed by their final products and so were they. It gave them confidence in their writing which is a huge win. I already purchased another guided research paper for next year.
This was such a great way to break down a writing project into manageable pieces. My reluctant writer was engaged and motivated to work through the essay with no complaints. Highly recommend!
This was a fantastic guided research project! My 12 y.o. son was engaged from start to finish. There were fun activities to conduct research and enough prompts and organization to complete a cohesive research paper without it being bogged down with repetitive "busy steps." By far one of the best writing resources used throughout my homeschooling journey. This unit got my son excited about the topic, asking additional questions, and writing...which is a feat in itself for a reluctant writer.
We loved this project. I did it with my 16 year old a few years ago and I am about to start it with my 11 year old.
Monique's products are all so well thought out and designed. She puts an incredible amount of work into creating quality resources. We love the graphics and art in them, they are humorous and fun to do.
