You will find games to teach higher levels of thinking, interviewing, and library skills, lesson plans for each step of independent study, and recording and evaluation procedures. You'll learn how to teach your students to use Bloom's Taxonomy, find primary resources, and use the Internet for research. They'll also learn how to formulate questions and interview experts.
