Pathways to Knowledge ** There are 6 steps to this model || Does this model work well with first grade students? What do these steps involve? || Record what we learned in this column. The six steps for this model include: || Are there graphic organizers that teachers can use to introduce this model to their students? || 2. Presesearch - Students begin project & make a connection to what they already know || How do students demonstrate appreciation? How are connections made to what they already know? || 4. Interpretation- Students decide what's useful for project, what's not and what it all means || What searching strategies work well with these students? || 6. Evaluation- Student and peer grade the process to help do better next time First grade teachers can incorporate a backwards design to this model. || How do students communicate their new knowledge? What steps will allow students to do better next time? || What do we want students to learn? (standards and objectives) How will we know if learning has occurred? (assessment tools or strategies) How will we facilitate the learning process? (responsibilities of library media specialist, classroom teacher, and students)" (Pappas 20). ||  ||
 * **Know** || **Want to Learn** || **Learn** || **Further Questions** ||  ||
 * It's an inquiry model
 * I believe inquiry models can be adjusted to use with any grade level. || How does this model work in the inquiry process? || 1. Appreciation- Students are encourge to enjoy & respond to experiences
 * ||  || 3. Search- Students plan & start their work
 * ||  || 5. Communication- Students organize, explain & share new knowledge
 * ||  || "Checklist are both learning and assessement tools that enable students to engage in self-checking to determine if all of the requirements are completed" (Pappas 21). ||   ||
 * Pathways to Learning is backwards by design. || How can backwards by design help students? || "Backwards by design is a concept developed by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe (2005), and it includes the following elements:

Yodio. audio for fun, fame, and fortune! created by Anna Saucedo and Amy Gibbs [] This model has 8 stages It is an inquiry process model Can integrate across the curriculum & school library || ** Want to Learn ** How do students organize information using this model? What is the Webbing process? || **Learn** The 8 stages are Watching, asks students to explore & become observers of their environment Wondering, focuses on brainstorming options, discussing ideas, identifying problems, & developing questions Webbing, directs students to locate, search for & connect ideas & information. Wiggling, involves evaluating content, twisting & turning information. Weaving, consists of organizing ideas, creating models & formulating plans Wrapping, involves creating and packaging ideas and solutions. Waving, is communicating ideas to others through presenting. Wishing is assessing (Lamb 1, 2). || ** Further Questions ** Is this a linear model? || use for research using the web.
 * **Know**
 * This model has been created to

Students using this model can include information technologoy. "...the use of information technology as both a tool for information access and a tool for knowledge construction, and student attainment are perceived to be highly important in the learning process" (Todd, 63). || Will this model introduce a new strategy to teach research? || Yes it does. There are graphic organizers to organize the students information they find. There are questioning techniques and evaluation guidelines. There are several websites available for students to follow along while using each step. ||  ||
 * || Will this model help teachers of first grade students? || First grade students can be guided through the steps with assistance in order to find the information to produce a product for their research. This may not be a good tool to use for students to follow independently. ||  ||
