He thinks that by introducing the students to the concept of a student-created resource library in the classroom first, He would likely be able to translate the intent of social bookmarking later in the school year. In his narrative chapter of this book, the author explores both how inter-disciplinary subjects can inject narrative strategies and how language arts teachers can inject more nonfiction techniques. In the following sections, he is going to introduce four activities and/or skills to showcase informational research.
