GALE and Research Skills and Citations!

Today's Goal: Work with your team to begin your research. Use GALE and the query skills you learned to begin collecting data and information!


Agenda:
  1. Research Hyperdoc (I sent this to you at drive.google.com. It will be in your "Shared with Me" folder. The title will be "Group ## - World Events Research Hyperdoc")
  2. WATCH THIS VIDEO (It's about citations. I made it for you.)
  3. Work on Step 3: Research
  4. Suggestion: Don't do this without reviewing step 4! (It asks you to outline, and I've provided an outline that you might use to organize your work later. Make sure you're answering all of your research questions!)
  5. Other suggestion: Don't do this without reviewing the rubric at the very end!
For Your Research:
Every member of your team is expected to contribute at least TWO resources to your hyperdoc. Ms. Black has the magic ability to see what everyone types up (yes really, and no it's not actually magic)

The password for GALE is on your research hyperdoc. 

Some of the articles are going to be harder than others. That's OKAY. This is where you have to practice working together and communicating.

Here are some helpful hints as you research:




Reminders/Homework:
  • Two Achieve Articles due by midnight FRIDAY.
    • one article of your choice. If you aren't happy with your activity score, do another! I'll consider the higher score for grading. 
    • One article of Ms. Black's choice. 
      • Title: "For Sale: Your stuff"
      • Do all ten questions! (The last two are important!)
      • If you don't like your score, do the stretch activity.
  • Read your next independent reading book! (You should be almost finished with at least one new book, and moving on to your THIRD independent reading book of the year at least) My suggestion: 20 pages every night. You might surprise yourself.
