Monday September 10: Facts and Proof

If you are reading this, it can mean that you have:

A) voted

B) thought up some really cool stuff you'd like to do

C) Checked out your classmates websites, and found some good links

Now I would like you to begin putting all this potential information to good use. Here is what I would like to see you do:

1) Create and save a new Text document. Name it after your name, plus the phrase "facts and proof"

2) Decide which links you want to use. What do YOU want to explore further?

3) Follow up one of those links. Can you find at least two worthwhile pieces of information on that webpage?

4) If the answer is yes, then type up that information into your text document. Don't try to impress me by using lots of big words, and DO NOT just "copy and paste" from the site. Just tell me what information you have found. At least three complete sentences worth for a start

5) Underneath that information, ad the website address you got it from. THAT information you can do a "copy-paste" on.

6) If you come across a website that isn't all that helpful, kick it to the curb and get another

7) If you run out of websites on the topic you like, get some more. Add them to your portal. Make use of them

8) You should compile at least eight different websites using this method.

9) Stick to your topic.....just ONE topic.  A school appropriate topic

10) Let's do it, let's get it done!

cheers,
Mr. L
