Research Using eWISE
At Kingswood, and in all of Wake County, we use the eWISE method for Research in grades PK-12.

W - Wonder about the world around you - develop research questions
I - Investigate - find out more through reading good resources

E - Express your new knowledge by sharing with others (like creating a Google Slideshow)
Please let Elise know if you need any research assistance, everything from brainstorming ideas to create research questions, to creating a shared Google Doc!
