My goal is to help students obtain the skills they
need to be successful in today's INFORMATION AGE. At this moment in
history it is important for middle school students to begin to
understand the importance of information in the world around them.
Throughout the year students will learn an approach to problem based
inquiry that will assist them in choosing topics, setting goals,
debating issues, effective research, organization, as well as product
development and presentation.
