Today we worked on understanding about research - where to find it (Internet vs. library vs. print sources) and explored several search engines:
- Ask
- Bing
- Teoma
- Yahoo
We also looked at the meanings behind those suffixes and how we might get different perspectives depending on the type of site that we were on.
- gov
- net
- com
- org
- edu
Finally, we discussed how many moments (pieces of research) one should have in a 2-3 page paper, and we decided that about 2-3 instances would be most one could possibly have.
For Friday:
- bring in your printed (no handwritten copies accepted) draft for review
- bring in the three story packets that I handed out today
Reminder: If you would like to enter the essay-writing contest, please email me (or post below), so I can reserve some time in my schedule to work with you. Notice I am writing in GREEN - the color of $$$.
Take care and stay healthy!
Best,
KK
