Inquiry Phase: Construct

At the beginning of the Construct Phase, a student may ask:

  • Have any main ideas emerged from the research?
  • Did I find enough evidence to form an opinion or support my thesis?
  • What organizational patterns or tools will help me make sense of my information?

 

INDICATORS

  • Clarifies main and supporting ideas.
  • Connects ideas across texts.
  • Uses organizational strategies to make sense of information.
  • Makes sense of information by using appropriate thinking strategies.
  • Compares new ideas to what was already known.
  • Tests statement of purpose and thesis statement or hypothesis.
  • Draws conclusions.

 

Before moving to the Express Phase, a student may ask:

  • Have I drawn conclusions that are supported by the evidence?
  • Have I organized my conclusions and evidence to present them effectively?
