DISCOVERY Four Scenarios: Dog, Cake, Sneakers,

Banana Split In Pairs – 2 minutes each activity Put the process of solving your problem

in the order you think you would complete the solution.

Turn to the pair next to you and explain how you put the process in order.

DISCUSS: WHAT WAS THE PROCESS? Task Definition Information Seeking Strategies Location and Access Use of Information Synthesis Evaluation

TASK DEFINITION What is my task?

Audience Brainstorm

What information do I need? List sub questions

What is my final product?

INFORMATION SEEKING STRATEGIES Where could I find information? Where should I go for information? What keywords should I use?

Broad vs. narrow

LOCATION AND ACCESS Locate your sources Use your keywords to access the information

USE OF INFORMATION How do I use the information?

Read Collect

Extract the information How will I record the information? Collect sources, avoid plagiarism

Thin and CrunchyThe more a cookie dough spreads during baking, the thinner and crunchier the finished product will be. What ingredients promote spreading over setting? For the fat, margarine and butter are better choices than shortening. Due to their chemical makeup, they start to melt at lower temperatures than shortening. They also contain a little water.

Sugar too plays a leading role. A high sugar content increases spread because the sugar liquefies at baking temperatures. In fact, it is sometimes considered a liquid ingredient.

Recipes that use granulated sugar are most likely to retain a crisp texture. Sugar is hygroscopic (hy-gruh-SKAH-pik). That is, it readily takes up water. Granulated sugar, however, is less hygroscopic than other common sweeteners, so granulated leaves more water in the mix.

Sugar also raises the temperature at which proteins coagulate, which delays setting. Likewise, baking soda raises the setting temperature by neutralizing some of the recipe’s acidity.

CITING SOURCESGive credit for sources you use

Give credit in the paperParenthetical reference(Johnson, 59)

Give credit in the bibliographyCitationJohnson, Mary. Salem witch trials. Chicago: Hawthorne Press, 2003.

SYNTHESIS Organize information

Outline and categorize

How do I give credit for sources?

Present information What is my product?

"Measure and Mix ingredients"

EVALUATION Judge the product Did I do my best? Did I do my defined task? Did my information answer by question? Did I give credit for sources? Is my work complete? Do I need to add or change anything? What could I do differently?
