Re ADM: Getting students to use books instead of...

[Joan Enders <jenders@kalama.com>]

A 6th grade health teacher and I created a research lesson on smoking.
We pre-searched for good Net sites, magazine citations, and encyclopedia
articles.  All the Net sources were text, and of excellent quality and
reading level.

Students had to read and understand from every source.  We actually had
students wanting to use magazine articles from InfoTrac, more encycs.,
and NF books than expected.  Reflecting on the experience, I think that
happened because we structured the Net usage so that time was not wasted
in surfing.  (which is really what the aimless desire to do!)

You can see the online lesson at our Monticello site, which is linked
from mine.  The second group of 150 6th graders are starting the lesson
on Monday.
