The following information was submitted by Amanda Russell who taught Grade 3 at Fisher Mitchell School during 1999-2000.

We completed three research projects using the SEED's "Using Technique: A research Method for Primary Children - The Big 6" research form. The first time the students used the original, unaltered form. For the second and third project I modified the form to better fit the needs of my students and the goals of my program. Below are the modified forms of the SEED's Big 6 used by Ms. Russell's Third Grade.

NOTE: By the 4th report, the students were working independently in all the steps which had been covered. They handled any modifications of the process with ease and enthusiasm. By the end, writing reports had become their favorite part of writing class!"
