High School Resources

The Question is the Answer!

Students should spend their time researching important questions, questions which require original thought. No more simple "Go Find Out About" research which requires information gathering but little thought.

If we ask students to "Go find out about Connecticut," they (and we) may drown in thousands of pages of text. Instead we ask, "Which of these cities would you move to?"

We require fresh thought. Students make answers. No simple finding and gathering.
