Step 1: Students are provided with the following framework and encouraged to direct their own learning about Female Frontiers and STS-93.

• Question: Students identify an important question they wish to explore.
  • Engage in group or individual brainstorming during Internet Workshop.
  • Guide their initial research by helping them identify related topics and information.
• Search: Students use the Internet to find useful information related to their topic.
  • Use the Internet Workshop to demonstrate Internet search techniques.
  • Remind students of more traditional resources found in the classroom or school library.
• Analyze: Students analyze all of the information they have located and respond to the questions they initially posed.
  • Sometimes this will lead students to address another question they discover to be more important than their initial question.
• Compose: This phase requires students to compose a presentation of their work. This may take the form of a traditional written report, a poster session, a multimedia presentation, a web site, or an oral report.
  
• Share: Students share their work and respond to questions about that work. This may take place during the Internet workshop or during a special science or social studies fair.
