Description
How to Teach Research
Young researchers learn best when they start with a question and look for facts that answer it. This Find Out More Research Project Writing Activity walks first, second and third grade students through a short research project about firefighters, from asking questions to sharing what they learned in their own little book.
Using the Research Project
Lay out the three question cards: what firefighters do, where they work and live, and how they keep safe. Children read the twelve fact cards and sort each fact under the question it answers. Next, they write what they found out in their own words on the Research Guide and record the card numbers they used. Finally, they fold the My Book page and draw and write one page for each question. A 2nd grade practice page asks children to read facts about mail carriers and circle the question each fact answers.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use teacher page
- 3 research question cards
- 12 firefighter fact cards
- Research Guide note page
- My Book fold-up page
- 2nd grade practice worksheet
- Answer keys with a sample Research Guide
Why This Activity Helps Kids
First, sorting facts by question shows children that research is about finding answers, not copying every sentence. Second, writing notes in their own words builds real informative writing skills. Third, a 1st grade research activity like this one gives early readers a clear model they can use again with any topic.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the Find Out More Research Project Writing Activity during a community helpers unit, in a writing center, or as a shared class project. After the firefighter project, children can choose a new helper, write three questions, and find answers in library books. At home, families can read the fact cards together and talk about how firefighters keep the community safe.
