The Learner will explore the Student LiveBinder with a focus on the Reference
Sources and Research Sources tabs
The Learner will conduct an Internet search using search tips to narrow a topic
How many of you carry a 3-ring binder? How many do you carry? Dont you wish you could
have all your work in one binder that would be easy to carry around? A LiveBinder is an on-line
3-ring binder. You dont have to worry about losing it or misplacing it. You always have access to
it on which electronic device you have. I have created on for you so lets take a look at it now.
The guided practice will be the Internet search using the term Eating Disorders. Through this
practice, students will see how to narrow a topic for the best results that are manageable for
research.
The independent practice will be the students conducting their own search for their research
topic. Students will have to experiment with search words and a mixture of tips to reduce their
topic. This will be done on the Internet as well as the card catalog. As students find their
resources in the library, I will guide and ask questions to make them think about their topic in a
different way if they are having problems.
CLOSURE Reflection/Wrap-Up
Summarizing, Reminding, Reflecting, Restating, Connecting
The closure will be reviewing the LiveBinder and the Prezi on conducting a good Internet
search. Students will be reminded of how important it is to be as specific as they can.
The more specific, the better results they will get. Students will be given a Tip Sheet
with the search strategies.
The students will already have a cheat sheet with webpage addresses to use for
research (ones presented during class as the best), the Media Specialists emails, and
reference books of interest.
CROSS-CURRICULAR
CONNECTIONS
The LiveBinder is set up to be cross-curricular. There are tabs for each subject area with
websites pertaining to each subject. Students can use this binder at any given time.
The search tips can also be used in all subject areas. Anytime the students conduct an
Internet search, they can use a mixture of tips to get their desired results.
