We spent time this week learning how to research using a search engine. Students practiced finding key words in questions they wanted to find the answer to. After searching the keywords students checked for validity by verifying the information on two different sites.
We also learned about plagiarism. We had a fantastic discussion about whether it is right or wrong to steal or borrow someone's work without giving them proper credit. This will help students with their Early European Explorer Projects.
Yesterday, students were paired up and picked an explorer to research. Over the next few weeks we will be working on our research projects. Final projects will be made using Google Presentation. I will also be teaching students how to share their work with you online! Stay tunes, these reports are going to be fantastic!
