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.
