Contextual Students are able to choose writing products that are appropriate for their particular learning level and share what they have learned about a famous woman with the group. Building Expertise Having the tools - searching systematically, knowing the rules, evaluating relevance, recognizing credibility and not plagiarizing - to do online research will benefit students as they continue their education.
