Description
Our POWER acronym guides project research plan development in a clear, easy-to-follow process. Use this tool after students identify an issue to explore and who they may want to impact. Or, start this process to help students narrow their focus if deciding between two or three project ideas.
- P – Plan your research
- O – Organize your sources
- W – Write notes
- E – Edit into a draft
- R – Review your work
After completion, students will be able to develop a research plan using the POWER process and draft an area of concern that meets the requirements for a competitive project (step 1 in the problem-solving process) .
