The ultimate goal is to have stu- dents develop an appreciation of the scholarly essay as a method for communicating a clear and con- vincing thesis supported by accurate and meaning- ful research. Students are required to submit an outline detailing the thesis, introduction, body of evidence and con- clusion which will form the organizational basis of the essays. The lesson involves the teaching and modeling of various essay outline formats to ensure that all students have the tools to create their own outline. The format for the outline is left open-ended to ensure students have the opportu- nity to excel in this particular task. This lesson meets a number of overall expectations found in the Information Studies document: n Inquiry and Research: the first and third over- all expectation to "prepare for research-identify varied ways of organizing information" and "process information-sort information using a variety of organizers and formats (as well as to begin to) synthesize findings and formulate conclusions". © 2 00 0 A ng el a D i P rim a CURRICULUM CONNECTIONS
