We are learning more about reading the Internet.
Today we learned about primary and secondary sources.
We spent time in the computer lab, filling out site evaluations (See the other post for September 10.) and information about student-chosen celebrities.
Dates for Celebrity WebQuest:
September 10: Complete at least one site evaluation and gather information
September 16: More site evaluations and gather more information
September 22: Creating PowerPoints
September 28: PowerPoints Due/Deadline for full points
Why this project? Internet Literacy is an important part of our modern world. We are practicing reading strategies while gathering knowledge and skills for doing research online and off.

SIRS Discoverer is a database created especially for school kids to use in their research. You'll find newspaper, magazine, journal, and encyclopedia articles. One of the nice features is that each result is labeled by reading level from easy to challenging.
