Teacher prompts: “What strategies can you use to determine the relevance of the information you have gathered?” “If two information sources contradict each other, how might you determine which is more reliable?” “What values are embedded in the information sources?” “Whose voices are represented and whose are absent?” “Whose interests are advanced if you believe the main message of this source?” “What is your own personal connection to the research, and how does this affect your interpretation of the informa­ tion gathered?”
A3.2 record and organize information and key ideas using a variety of formats (e.g., journals, logs, report outlines, notes, graphic organizers, audio/visual/digital records)
A3.3 analyse and interpret research information (e.g., make connections between findings from different sources; identify gaps in explanations
or information that may necessitate further research or inquiry)
A3.4 demonstrate academic honesty by document­ ing the sources of all information generated through research
A3.5 synthesize findings and formulate conclu­ sions (e.g., determine whether their results support or contradict their hypothesis; weigh and connect information to determine the answer to their research question)
A4. Communicating and Reflecting
Throughout this course, students will:
A4.1 use an appropriate format (e.g., oral presenta­ tion, brochure, flyer, poster, report, multimedia pres­ entation, web page) to communicate the results of their research and inquiry effectively for a spe­ cific purpose and audience
A4.2 use terms relating to food and culture correct­ ly (e.g., culture, acculturation, herbs, spices, cuisine, food-borne illness, tajine, bamboo steamer)
A4.3 clearly communicate the results of their inquiries (e.g., write clearly, organize ideas logically, use language conventions properly), and follow APA conventions for acknowledging sources (e.g., generate a reference list in APA style, use in-text author-date citations)
A4.4 demonstrate an understanding of the general research process by reflecting on and evaluating their own research, inquiry, and communication skills
Teacher prompts: “How might the research methods you used have affected the results you obtained?” “What steps might you take to enhance your research/inquiry skills?”
