Stage of QUEST: Understand and Analyze: This week we are going to go back to the context of our paper and use of stimulus material. Monday: Complete the essential questions, essential activity, and goals of this packet. If you have time to edit your paper, please feel free. If you have questions for Hatlen, please contact her at any time. Learning Objectives and Essential Questions: How do the two stimulus sources connect to our own research topic and question? Do we use the two stimulus sources effectively in our paper? What is the background and context of our topic and paper? Do we clearly express the significance in our writing? What additional sources do we need to answer our questions? Does your research question address a real world or current issue? Essential Activity! Please take this activity seriously, and if you cannot answer the questions below, please stop and email Mrs. Hatlen. This is something that we MUST address before we move forward! What is your topic and area of inquiry? Be specific. Which two sources connect? Note you should be as specific as possible! Provide lines from each text that you would use to develop the idea. This means both stimulus sources. How do the sources connect to one another AND your idea? Be specific. What is the theme that is shared among the sources that you are using? Why are you interested in this? Notes: If you struggled answering these, contact Mrs. Hatlen. We will work together to move on. Based on your answers and personal reflection, develop 3 personal goals you would like to meet to improve your IWA. Include deadlines, steps you need to take, and how you will measure your accomplishments.
