Guiding Questions:
  • What are the roles of teachers at different stages of the research cycle?
  • What are the necessary contents to include in an abstract?
  • What do I still need to complete before our final class?






Warm Up: Holiday BS Game
Holidays are full of symbols and practices that represent a window into exploring the perspectives of a culture. However, the historical origin of many holiday traditions are not known even to people within the culture. In this game we will explore the origin of several symbols and practices associated with Christmas. 
  • Can you guess which one is correct and which ones sound like BS?
