Updates

Friday, February 29th--Notes taken during research (in notebook)

Monday, March 3rd: TEST--over Acts 3, 4, and 5

Tuesday, March 4th--Research Project Due, including

• Annotated Bibliography
• 2 page dialogue

In the lab today...

Today you must:

• Complete at least 4 bibliographic citations in MS Word
• Finish reading and taking notes on your 2 reliable websites
• Find and cite 1 Britannica Online source.

I will check your notes tomorrow. I will check the Y:// after school to check your bibliographies.

HW: 5.1-3 should be finished by tomorrow. Meet in the classroom.

Research Project: Day 2

First, you will be listening
Search Engines
-We will use the most common search engine today--> Google

Lesson 1: Don't click on the advertisements!
-Search engines are owned by companies.
-These companies make money by advertising.

Lessson 2: Searching properly is important--there are many wrong ways!
-Quotations
-Advanced Search Options
-Keyword searching

Lesson 3: Many websites are created by people who don't know what they're talking about!
-It's true! Anyone can make a website. Ms. Miller could make a website about NBA Basketball. She could put all kinds of unfounded opinions up for everyone to read.
-In order to be sure we're not using invalid or unreliable websites, we'll have to learn some rules.

1. URLs are like phone numbers: .org=organization, .gov=government, .edu=education, .com=commercial, .net=network, and so on.
2. Websites that have contact information are probably more reliable than those which don't.
3. Websites with "date last updated" information are probably more reliable than those which don't.
4. Websites with an author's name, or a group/company/institution responsible for the information are probably more reliable than those which don't.
5. Bottom line: Do not trust a website unless you've also confirmed some of it's information with more reliable research sources (books, encyclopedias, online databases)

Now you will be doing

• Type the bibliographic information you found yesterday in MS word. SAVE IT TO THE Y:// DRIVE in the english 1 folder.
• Complete Step 2 on your project handout. Be sure to add the new bibliographic information to the bibliography you've started typing today.

*Note: Please be sure that you are reading sources before you copy their bibliographic information. Don't forget that the main objective is to find information about the person/place you're researching.
