U.S. President George Washington Research Project

This research report is designed to be completed by students in grades

3-6. The students will compile their research and drafts inside of this

research booklet. Once they have collected their research and

outlined their research report, the students will publish their final pieces

using the included publishing paper.

A revising and editing checklist and a peer feedback checklist are

both included. Students can get feedback from a peer before or after

writing their final copy on publishing paper. Students should use the

revising and editing checklist before turning in their final published

copy.

A rubric is also included to make grading easy and efficient. If you’d

like, you can use the “Feedback From the Teacher” page to provide

additional feedback for your students.

The reading passage included with this resource is not meant to be a

complete reference text for their research. Students will need to use

the internet or books from the library to finish collecting information.

You can set up a collection of trusted links ahead of time if your

students need more support with finding good research websites.

If you’d like to post a list of websites for students to use in their research,

I suggest using Google Docs, Hyperdocs, or your eLearning platform to

create your link list.

There are no answer keys provided for this resource due to the ever-changing

nature of state history. I recommend checking your students work daily to ensure accuracy before grading their final report.
