Ideas for Researching Follow the assignment carefully Make a list of the essential questions you want answered through your research Make a list of the essential questions you want answered through your researchBrainstorm Narrow your topic before you begin.

Search Engines

Reference Tools Use a reference tool to look for factual information Try –My Virtual Encyclopedia: –Librarians’ Internet Index: –MSN Encarta:

Images Use a graphics search engine to find graphics to use as research starters, multimedia, resources to make games, bulletin boards, etc. Try –Kids Click: –NY Public Library’s Digital Gallery: cfm cfm cfm –Classroom Clip Art: –The Library of Congress:

Phrase Searching Most search engines support the use of double quotation marks around words, terms or names you want searched as a phrase, i.e., appearing in exactly the order you enter them: Example: "ozone layer depletion" searches for the phrase, with the words in the order given

Boolean Searches Using the words AND, OR and NOT also help you narrow down your topics and get specifically what you need. What does Boolean mean? Boolean

Meta-Search Engines A search engine that looks over several search engines for information Examples: – – – –

There are MANY search engines available for your use Find the one that works best for you and the particular requirements of your assignment Noodle Tools Noodle Tools has a good list (which I’ve put as a link on Group Fusion). This might be a good resource for you later, so it might be good to add it to your Favorites/bookmarks. Noodle Tools

Tips for evaluating the source:  Ads should not overshadow content  Information should be unbiased  It should provide links to other helpful information  The information should be current  To be sure the site is reliabe, compare its information with other sites

Use the URL to evaluate the site: Domain extensions: –.com –.org –.edu –.gov –.net –.us (or another country) URL protocol://domain name/file What is URL?URL What is domain?domain What is protocol?protocol

Homework 1.Choose an event or a person in history that interests you. 2. Research information about your topic on the Internet. Do not yet gather information about the topic. Gather only the sources. Create a Works Cited page using MLA format (We will use this again in our next class.)

Homework (Continued) Locate the following through your research: Locate the following through your research: Basic information—at least 3 sites A Primary source An image A Timeline or a map related to your topic An actual book in print (Use the library links I’ve placed on our Group Fusion site.)
