Next week, you will be given a topic and have one block day to complete the beginning stages of research. You will use your notes to help you obtain accurate and quality information. In addition-there will be a research TEST.(04/30/2013)

  5. Available Sources: What are the similarities and differences between using the internet and using books/text? • Anyone can publish a Web page • No one checks to see if the information is true or false • There are millions of places to look for information • Using the Internet is much quicker • You can narrow down what you’re looking for more easily • The Internet uses search engines • A book has to be published by a publishing company • Editors check and verify the information • Looking for a book can be more time consuming • You have to visit a library • The library uses the Dewey Decimal System • provide sources • of information • viewed by • millions of people • each • day

  6. RELIABLE • Characteristics of Reliable online sources: • EBSCO • .org, .edu, .net • Britannica • Provided by experts • Recently published-last 10 years Examples Include: Textbooks, Newspapers, Peer reviewed articles/journals, Scholarly articles, Educational websites, Research

When you were a child, was there a neighbor, family member, or place that scared you? Describe that person/place as you remember them and think about how your experience parallels the children in the novel. Your response should be a min. ½ page • Today’s Goal: Continue to examine accuracy and relevancy of sources for research. • Objective: Students will be able to identify and classify primary and secondary sources.

  10. Primary vs. Secondary Sources • Primary: Original works that are either 1st hand accounts or created by participants/observers (eyewitnesses) to the event. • Secondary: Books, articles, newspapers, etc. that interpret, explain, or analyze the original document/event/piece of work.

  11. Examples

  12. Identification Practice Number 1-10

  13. Group Classification PracticeUsing the marker board, each group must classify their resources into the following categories. Make sure there is discussion.

  14. Final thoughts… • Don’t do a random search for a random topic on the internet. Decide primary/secondary and then make sure your source is reliable. • Don’t be afraid to go to the library for sources. It is much easier to determine reliability if you have the textbook in front of you.

  15. Article AnalysisCan I do it on my own? • Next week you will be responsible for finding, identifying, and classifying resources for a given topic. This will be your 1st Summative Grade • Make sure to follow along and take notes so you know what is expected for your grade

Describe one of these experiences and think about how that experience was similar/different to those of the children in the novel. In chapters 2 and 3, Scout begins her public school career.
