Here is some positive feedback we received about the implementation of student research organizers within the 4 step research process.
"The process was successful. The visual use of different coloured sheets for different resources   worked well.  The envelopes worked well to track students progress but the number of conferencing sessions and need to signing per research session was unrealistic from a time perspective.  However, I was able to assess visually on the chart paper how students were doing in the processing stage of the research process very easily.”                                                -M.Reeves
