Provide instruction on how to read articles based on the needs of your discipline.

Students can use the information below to guide them when reading research articles.

General Tips:

📕Search for the title of the article in Google Scholar to see how many times the work was cited by others.

📕Begin with the abstract to determine if the article is useful.

Is the article related to my topic?
What is the point of the article?
What is the most important finding/point of the article?

📕If the article connects to your essay topic, move to the introduction.

What is known about the topic?
How does this article contribute to our understanding of the topic?

📕 Read the discussion/conclusion to find out how the author(s) interpreted the findings of the research.

Are the findings valid?
What are the limitations or recommendations for future research?
Can I use any of the information to support my claim? If so, how?

📕 Move on to the results of the study.

Did the author(s) present their findings in an unbiased way?
Can I use any of the information in this section to support my claim? If so, how?

📕 Are you doing a research study? Read the methods section.

Is the study qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods?
What kind of data was used to arrive at the findings?

📕Do you need background information, theories, and academic language? Read the literature review!

Can I identify any theories used in the study related to my topic/research?
Are there keywords and phrases I can use to search for additional information on my topic?
Are there facts that connect to my topic that I can use?

📕 Mine the references to find other studies on the topic.

Are there sources in the works cited from experts in the field?

Many times students are asked to write a traditional paper but there are many ways to have students demonstrate their understanding of a topic that could be shared more widely.

There are many ways for students to show what they know. If improving writing is the goal, then have students write an essay. Additionally, they could write in other ways to expand the ways they can organize their thoughts to communicate ideas.

Students could:

📧 Write a letter to the editor that involves sharing evidence they have researched on a topic they are passionate about. Then they could opt to share that letter with the local paper.

💻Make a web resource about a health-related issue and share well-researched information using multiple forms of media to make it more engaging for a potential target audience.

🎙️Script and record an audio or video podcast (in Flip, for example) to share their knowledge with their peers in the course. They could also download that video and share it on social media if they choose.

🟠Write a blog post in an engaging way for a specific target audience about a topic of interest that incorporates elements of informative, argumentative, and narrative writing.

🎮Create a game related to the concepts or skills they are learning to share with others to review for a certification exam.

📺 Make a screencast to demonstrate a skill.

📸Create a photo essay depicting and describing a process they are learning.

📊Make an infographic to summarize concepts, data, and other information related to a topic.

🗣️Generate questions about a topic, conduct an interview, and include the results of the interview as part of a wider research essay to gain additional perspective and understanding on a topic.

🖼️Prepare a written script to practice for a polished presentation.

There are dozens of ways that students can use writing for different purposes. Think about ways they could use writing to impact each other's learning or to impact society outside of the classroom.

Better yet, have students brainstorm ways to use the research they do to impact the world around them. When they have ownership in the learning process, they will be more engaged and excited about it!]]> 2022-10-18 18:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryltice/fttwriting/wish/2345740681 Organize Body Paragraphs cheryltice https://padlet.com/cheryltice/fttwriting/wish/2347205392 Have students use a graphic organizer to compose a high-quality thesis and begin to plan the themes they will use to support their claim.

Provide a tutorial about it so they can identify the parts of an in-text citation and a reference citation in the Works Cited page.

Offering this information can help bridge any gaps in understanding the process of citing sources. It makes learning more equitable and inclusive.

Students might not understand when to cite sources in their writing, so make sure that they know:

✅ Information that they quote or paraphrase from a sources needs to be cited.

✅ They do not need to cite when they interpret or draw conclusions from what they've read.]]> 2022-10-19 15:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryltice/fttwriting/wish/2347292974 Have Students Copyright their Work! cheryltice https://padlet.com/cheryltice/fttwriting/wish/2347299442 Students often don't appreciate why citation is so important because they might not have personally copyrighted their work.

When producing work that could be shared with a wider audience, it is a good thing to have students share how they would like their work to be used by others.

Creative Commons has a wizard students can use to identify the type of copyright they want and how it should be used.

They might not realize the reasons why citing sources is important. Share some reasons with them! It's important because:

🔎 Citations and the bibliography of your sources offer the reader a way to check the sources for more information on the topic.

🔎 Citations give credit to those who originally shared the ideas. Whether quoting or paraphrasing, it's critical to cite where those ideas originated.

🔎 Citations lend credibility to the information and evidence you've shared because the reader can evaluate the sources and determine how credible and reliable they are.

🔎 Your academic integrity is important. When you use information from sources, citations show that you respect others' work and want to give proper attribution.]]> 2022-10-19 15:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryltice/fttwriting/wish/2347319855 EdTech Tip: Identifying a Topic cheryltice https://padlet.com/cheryltice/fttwriting/wish/2347583355 This is a great opportunity to use a tool like Flip to have students share potential topics and the approaches they are considering for writing their claims.

Students can verbally offer ideas to support peers by helping to:
🧠 Narrow topics further
🧠 Suggest sources of credible information
🧠 Perspectives related to the writing that could be explored...

Using this tool in this way is a low-risk activity where they brainstorm ideas and help each other move forward.

In online courses, this can be helpful in developing peer relationships that could lead to improved collaborations.

In on-site courses, using Flip is a way to help students connect that allows them time to compose their thinking before responding to each other. It could serve as a quick assignment outside of class, or they can make a Flip response during an on-site class if they are working independently on a project.

💻 Need help connecting Flip to Canvas? You can use the Flip resources on our CCIT site to help you!]]> 2022-10-19 18:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryltice/fttwriting/wish/2347583355 EdTech: Collaborative Curation cheryltice https://padlet.com/cheryltice/fttwriting/wish/2347600571 Have students collaboratively curate sources of information in collaborative documents or a discussion forum in an LMS, such as Canvas. They can contribute sources and evaluate them together.

This is particularly helpful if they are researching a similar topic, but can also be done as part of a discussion about their topic.

Research shows that college students struggle to identify credible information. Working collaboratively can help students overcome this obstacle together with instructor support.

Tools students can use:
🔵 Shared Word Online Document (use headings to separate & organize topics)

🔴 Shared PowerPoint Online Presentation (each slide holds links to sources by topic)

🟣 Canvas (LMS) Discussion (separate thread for each student with replies containing sources on the student's topic)

🟠 Flip text comments]]> 2022-10-19 18:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryltice/fttwriting/wish/2347600571 EdTech: Synthesis Matrix cheryltice https://padlet.com/cheryltice/fttwriting/wish/2347613571 Tracking information from multiple sources is challenging but using technology can help make it easier!

In the resources above, there is a sample 🔵Microsoft Word document that students can use to track information from their sources related to themes/ideas they are researching and analyzing.

Personally, my favorite way to track ideas I find in the articles I read is to use 🟢Microsoft Excel. It already has a grid and allows me to quickly add rows with borders.

It is critical to provide (brief) explanations for editing and revision tools, for example, to fill gaps in understanding how to use them. Modeling how to use the tools can help students build the skills needed to use them effectively.

Editing and revision tools, like Grammarly and Microsoft Office grammar and spell check, are very helpful in the editing and revision process, but students need basic skills to understand whether the suggested changes work in every instance.

Model it:

⚒️Use an example paragraph with suggested edits from Grammarly and/or a Microsoft App to model when to change the writing and when to skip or rework suggested edits.

🗣️Demonstrate why reading aloud can help quickly identify issues with syntax to help with the editing and revision process, too! Students can use Flip for this and get peer and instructor feedback to support editing.

Slowing down the writing process gives students time to practice using these tools. When they are doing shorter parts of the writing, it offers students time to practice and build those skills that they might lack. This is especially helpful in 1000-level courses.]]> 2022-10-20 15:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryltice/fttwriting/wish/2349237656 Canvas Peer Review Tools cheryltice https://padlet.com/cheryltice/fttwriting/wish/2357177596 If you want students to provide peer feedback in Canvas as they work through the writing process, there are tools to help you set that up efficiently:
