Day 1: Searching and Saving informationWe've been working on search skills, and now we're going to put them to work! We're going to do a Google search for Trumpeter Swans. Here are some things to think about: - How should we word our search?
- How are search results displayed? Which results are ads?
- How can we get results that are written for kids to understand?
- How can we decide which sources are reliable?
When you find a readable, reliable source, bookmark it for use later.
The next step is to get organized. Make a copy of the spreadsheet below. Use the Internet sources we found to answer the questions on the spreadsheet. Be sure to use your own words and cite your sources correctly!
