Hi, you've probably already gotten results, and maybe it's too late.
but for future reference, a couple that I've used are:
dogs/cats/drawing -- that is, they can search for dogs and cats, dogs or
cats, and then look for books about dogs/cats but NOT drawing books (we
always have lots of those in our library, but if the student is looking for
info about pets, rather than drawing the animals, you get the idea)
and
american/revolution/NOT industrial
our 5th graders to revolutionary war in social studies, so they should know
a bit about the topic. little tougher to explain about industrial
revolution, I use that for 7th and 8th graders...
good luck!

> Subject: TAR: Good Boolean search topics
>
> I'm going to be teaching Boolean searching next week and I need some good
> topics that will make sense to our 4th-6th graders. I'm sort of a
> "visiting lecturer," so I don't have the opportunity to tie into whatever
> they are doing in the classroom - I've got to teach this in isolation. I
> need searches that can demonstrate AND, OR and NOT and also the ability to
> force phrase searching with "".
