ABSTRACT
The Basic Level of the Group IIM Process is a whole-class study used to introduce IIM at any grade level. This process may be used with any curriculum unit, and may serve as the class study of a whole unit. After introducing the class topic through immersion activities, the teacher works with the class to develop a concept map on chart paper, focusing on what students already know and what they want to learn. The teacher and students formulate goal setting questions on a class chart. The teacher presents resources and records note-facts on chart paper from each source. The students organize all note-facts in categories on chart paper. The students develop whole class, small group, or individual products that share new knowledge. The students present products to an appropriate audience.
