The Research Process

For every research-based assignment, students will be expected to use the TDSB student research guide, Research Success @ Your Library with the 4-stage model of the research process incorporated into these assignments either in part or in whole. Students will receive instruction and be assessed/evaluated on various aspects of the research process by either their teacher or one of the teacher-librarians. These lessons may include, but are not limited to, the development of research questions, note-taking, adherence to a specific documentation style, facility with a variety of resources, etc.

Course Evaluation Plan:

Assessment and evaluation for this course is based upon the following criteria: daily participation, written tests, skills tests and fitness evaluation. Activities and assignments are organized into four strands: Physical Activity, Active Living, Healthy Living and Living Skills. Students are expected to keep all paperwork handed out and to transfer verbal instruction to written assignments, written tests, skills tests, culminating activity and the final exam. Any extra help required can be arranged by making an appointment with the appropriate teacher.
