=Lesson: **How Can Students Effectively Use Search Engines?** =

Grades 6-8

//ELA Frameworks - Strand Composition/Research //
Grade: 5,6  24.3 Apply steps for obtaining information from a variety of sources, organizing information, documenting sources, and presenting research in individual and group projects:
 * use an expanded range of print and non-print sources //(atlases, data bases, electronic, on-line resources)//;
 * follow established criteria for evaluating information;
 * locate specific information within resources by using indexes, tables of contents, electronic search key words;
 * organize and present research using the grades 5-6 Learning Standards in the Composition Strand as a guide for writing; and
 * provide appropriate documentation in a consistent format.

 Grade: 7,8  24.4 Apply steps for obtaining information from a variety of sources, organizing information, documenting sources, and presenting research in individual projects:
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">differentiate between primary and secondary source materials;
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">differentiate between paraphrasing and using direct quotes in a report;
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">organize and present research using the grade 7-8 Learning Standards in the Composition Strand as a guide for writing;
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">document information and quotations and use a consistent format for footnotes or endnotes; and
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">use standard bibliographic format to document sources.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Grade: 6,7,8 <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 3.1 Explain and demonstrate effective searching and browsing strategies when working on projects. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 3.3 Use a variety of computing devices (e.g., probeware, handheld computers, digital cameras, scanners) to collect, analyze, and present information for curriculum assignments.

__**<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Lesson Objectives **__
<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Students will:
 * 1) <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Determine the purpose of their search by developing questions to be answered.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Identify relevant keywords from purpose questions
 * 3) <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Refine a keyword combination (also known as a search phrase) to yield better focused results i.e. Boolean Operators and using quotation marks
 * 4) <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Critically evaluate search results that best answer questions/fit purpose -- preview and make inferences before clicking on sites
 * 5) <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Create a //Delicious// account to bookmark useful sources
 * 6) <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Explain reasoning for the selection of sources using multimedia tools -- voicethread, flipcam, glogster or xtranormal

**<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">__Lesson Overview__: **
<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">1. Brainstorm lists of strategies students currently use to find information on the internet <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 2. Based on results, use some of the Coiro activities or Read Write Think lessons to build background knowledge <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 3. View Xtranormal video and Effective Use of Search Engines Tools & Tips Glogster <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 4. In diads or triads ask students to: <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">5. Explain reasoning for the selection of sources using multimedia tools -- voicethread, flipcam, glogster or xtranormal <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> -- what criteria did you use, make your thinking visible <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 6. Share multimedia tools.
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">develop a research question
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">brainstorm key words
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">use a search engine then print screen the results
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">make thinking visible by making marginal notes on the printed page
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">add 3 relavant sources to a delicious account
