As I continue to work on my final product, I decided to pause to look at IN State Standards to see where this all fit in. I teach 5th grade, so I'm fairly familiar with them and thought that might be something to look at since I'm now becoming more and more conviced that this type of a project could easily be accomplished by a fifth grader. I wasn't convinced before this, but now I see how the pieces and parts that are expected within an open inquiry are actually some of the standards that are expected.
Language Arts Stds.
5.2 Structural features of informational and technical materials. (Lots of graphs, illustrations, diagrams, format, and organization)
Comprehension. (Main idea, inferences, conclusions, generalizations, etc.)
Distinguish among facts, supported inferences, opinions
5.4-5.5 Writing Process and Applications. (Take the information and process it into a workable solution)
