• Research the T.I.G.E.R. Way!

  At Dalton, we use The T.I.G.E.R. Research Process when conducting Researches. 
  
  

  T = Topic Questioning
  This is a period of time that is set aside to brainstorm ideas and ask the big questions to give the research a focus -- in groups or by individual students. 

  
  I = Identify and Evaluate Resources

  Each researcher has to both identify the relevant sources and also evaluate such sources for their validity, authority, and timeliness.
  
  G = Gather and Cite Information

  This is the phase of reading, watching, listening, note-taking, source-recording, etc.
  
  E = Express your learning!

  The researcher synthesizes and organizes all the gathered and verified information for the final product: be it a paper, a documentary film, or any other kind of project.
  
  R = Reflect and Revise
  The researcher revisits various stages of the research process to refine and revise the final product.  The researcher also evaluates the process and notes points of improvement for future research projects.
