HIT: Jr Hi Research Skills
I had asked for help with lesson plans for 7th and 8th graders about
plagiarism, research skills and/or web searching before our Christmas break.
Thanks to all who responded and below is a list of the responses.
You'll find lots of good/relevant links and resources at:
http://www.shambles.net/informationliteracy/ and
http://www.shambles.net/plagiarism/
Take a look at "How Do I teach the process of citing sources K-20" in our
Knowledge Base http://www.noodletools.com/kb/ and you might want to use a
common example from our " Library Subscription Databases Category" - those
are the hardest to cite! Also, you can have them use "NoodleBib Starter" to
get the hang of citation...
I've also got a Web page on choosing which search engine to use...
Go to http://www.noodletools.com/ and click on "Choose the Best Search for
Your Information Need." (right hand column)
If you want to talk about internet searching, there is a great website done
by Kids Click called "Worlds of Searching." They get to go through
activities dealing with all the types of searching (Alphabetical, keyword,
boolean, etc). I used it with sixth graders. Good luck.
Later this year, a complete plagiarism lesson will be posted on ALEX
(Alabama Learning Exchange). It will be posted there.
