Grade 8s Find Research Fun

Grade 8 students working on a project about world religions for their social studies course spent some time in the library last week learning the intricacies of proper research methods.

“It included teaching them the very difficult pieces of proper referencing and documentation according to APA rules,” explains Head Librarian Mrs. Stroebel. The students rose to the challenge and even enjoyed the exercise as shown by emails Mrs. Stroebel received afterward. “I have never had documentation called ‘beautiful work’ as Joaquin T. described it,” she said.
