Tracing the Shape of Research in #edu106

As we explore ways in #edu106 to tell our stories we have also delved into the shape of other tales. Today we looked at the shape of the research article.

Students got into groups and then tried to trace the shape of the article.

We then discussed how the genre of research like a fable has a very common pattern to follow. Next we defined key terms students may come across when reading research.

Overall it was a fun day of learning. I found it quite invaluable to have students dissect the text structure of a research article and then define key terms educators will come across.
