1. What difficulties do you foresee in assigning the role of student researcher in your classroom? What benefits do you think this work might bring to your students?
Some difficulties you may see when assigning the role of a student researcher is that they may not know how to research. Many students think that any cite has true and correct information on it and that is not the case. Also some students do not know how to cite where they got the information. Also some may need help trying to find the right words or topics to search especially when looking at fine details on things. The benefits would be the students learn all that I have listed above and get a global view on the certain topics. Students can incorporate culture into learning any content area.

What if you had to design an assessment item in your content area where your students would have access to the web while they take the test? What would that assessment item look like? How would the question have to differ from one based on memorization?
If I was to design an assessment item where students had access to the web while taking the test it would be a written test where students had to cite where they fund the information and put that information into their own words.
