Patrick decided to start a new research project: cars. First, we talked about and wrote a research plan in his notebook, and he researched and took notes on the Bugatti. He printed a picture of the Bugatti and he practiced several language arts standards and research/computer skills: note taking, proper nouns, capitalization, writing titles, keyboarding, searching using several descriptors to narrow a search, previewing websites using key words, distinguishing between websites based on intent, etc.
