Research as a Conversation Includes:

• Planning Ahead - showing initiative and resourcefulness and choosing a topic

• Choosing a Conversation Group - recognizing people who are qualified to talk about a topic

• Listening to the Conversation – getting access to conversations on our topic by qualified people

• Understanding the Conservation - understanding what we hear about our topic from qualified people

• Making Your Own Discoveries and Conclusions - putting ideas together and making inferences from what we hear

• Sharing Your Discoveries and Conclusions - reflecting upon your research and discoveries and sharing them with others

Cycle of Research

You may need to do these actions over and over before you finish.
