Hyacinth Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 This is for a rising 6th grader who has done plenty of summarizing and a bit of outlining. Books, curriculum, websites, etc.? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loulou belle Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 For cheap, I liked the cle research paper lightunit. It was quick, and easy enough for my dd to use to write a research paper for her coop class last semester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beebug123 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I don't think I can post links since this is my first post but I used one from Teacher Created Materials called "How to Write a Research Report" grades 3-6. It looks like they have a version geared for 6-8 as well. I liked it because it starts with narrowing down your topic, through all of the various ways to research (library skills), then to organizing your research, and finally writing it and ways to present it. My oldest balks at writing and she really liked learning all of the library skills sections and we took our time going through and it came together nicely. She used her information to create a research poster on a chicken for 4H that she is entering at the fair in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Now I'm utterly confused! SWB recommends A Beka and not her own WWS? WWS I has a section on research papers near the end. Writing the Research Paper - 4-part series from SWB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 This is a very old link...SWB wrote this series nearly a decade ago. (It is still all very good information, but that explains the recommendation.) Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Keeper Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Now I'm utterly confused! SWB recommends A Beka and not her own WWS? WWS I has a section on research papers near the end. This series of articles was written waaay before she did WWS. (A Beka was one of the grammar picks in the first ed. of WTM.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Ok, just curious if anyone knows the answer to this; SWB recommends the Introductory logic course on the linked SWB page. Does anyone know how this course differs from Art of Argument? Is it more inclusive, including AoA topics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Oh, thanks! We haven't found a writing book that is as good a fit as WWS, and I didn't particularly want to abandon it for anything else. This is a very old link...SWB wrote this series nearly a decade ago. (It is still all very good information, but that explains the recommendation.)

nansk Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I remembered another book last night. This is a college freshman text, so it's more suitable for the parent to refer to. Writing a Successful Research Paper (don't buy this from Amazon :leaving: ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find some comparisons if you search the High School and Logic Stage forums for art+argument+introductory+logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
