Anderson, Gaylyn Karle
English Journal, v79 n1 p53-57 Jan 1990
Describes a two-week class activity in which students attempt an extended definition of an abstract word, working collaboratively and using the library's reference material extensively. Notes that students take careful notes on both the information and their search processes, and integrate the information into a mini-research paper detailing their findings. (RS)
