Arguments of Policy✦ “Students have no way to investigate these
problems except through secondary sources.”
✦ “These problems do not involve real research.”
✦ “Since there are no original data, the only arguments made are warranted by the presumed authority of the writers whose work the student has chosen to quote, summarize, or in some cases, plagiarize.”
✦ “Students come to school with already learned solutions to the policy questions often favored by teachers (abortion, stem cell research, human cloning, capital punishment, the legality of dog fighting).”

Guided Inquiry & Research
“...research is embedded into inquiry. Inquiry inspires authentic,
meaningful research. Research is an essential
component of inquiry learning.”

Research & The CCSS✦ “Conduct short as well as more
sustained research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.”
✦ “Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism.”
✦ “Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.”
