Unit 5 Session 2 Essential Questions

Welcome to Unit 5 Session 2.  In this session, we’ll continue the work of reading like a researcher.  We’ll continue to explore Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life by exploring new sources and discovering which ones are most meaningful.  We’ll also consider how an author’s viewpoint or perspective impacts their writing and their core message.

Here are a few essential questions we’ll consider:

• What questions do researchers ask themselves to check their thinking?
• How do I establish and use acceptable, meaningful criteria for evaluating sources and information?
• What clues has the author provided about his/her viewpoint?
• What note-taking technique will best organize the information in this text? Why?
