an annotated bibliography of 10 to 15 recent articles
related to an area of interest (e.g., various aspects of the
teaching of composition, literature, oral language; assessment; motivating
the at-risk student; multiculturalism in the English curriculum; etc.)
Design
a teacher research projectin
which an instructional innovation identified through the course of compiling
the annotated bibliography is implemented in your classroom and the results
of this study are documented and evaluated. Students who do not have access
to a middle or high school classroom may instead conduct a thorough review
of the literature on a problem in English/language arts and a suitable
design for a classroom research project addressing the problem.
