Summary

Today's elementary school students will become tomorrow's knowledge workers. How can librarians and teachers help children develop the critical thinking and information problem-solving skills they will need to be confident and flexible users of information in the 21st century? This unique manual adapts the innovative and effective I-search research process for grades one through six. Here is a blueprint for helping students formulate questions leading them to personal discoveries, as well as strategies for teaching them to fashion those discoveries into information of their own. In addition to the educational theory behind the unique I-Search information seeking process, the authors provide lesson-plans, techniques, and evaluation tools for making the information search process an adventure for young students.
