Class met in the computer lab to receive expert instruction on research from Ms. Battle.
Ms. Battle stressed that using the appropriate Online Databases is:
The two databases she recommends are
You will need the school password (shared in class) for OSLIS or a library card for Multnomah Co. Library (Ms. Battle helped any students who didn't have a card get one).
Ms. Battle suggested that students begin with "Opposing Viewpoints" data bases; she also pointed out that searching on the home screen would bring students to lots of information; often one will need to "narrow the results."
Ms. Battle pointed out that Ebooks are easy to search using the "control f" function.
Mr. Zartler asked students to use an online document such as Google Docs to take their notes on.
For each article write the article title then write notes: quotes; summaries; paraphrases. At the end of each source in the databases is the appropriate bibliographic citation that should be pasted into the note taking document.
The first annotated bibliographic entry is due next class!
