| | + | #Watch your teacher search for the following, "giraffe", "evolution of giraffe", "miraculous evolution of giraffe" |
| | + | #Did you see any difference in the pages returned by the search? |
| | + | #Does this tell you anything about how a search engine works? How can you search more effectively? |
| | + | ====Student activities==== |
| | + | This is an activity to be done in groups. If adequate internet access is there, individual activities may be done. |
| | + | #Make a concept map for the topic or issue about which you want to research. |
| | + | #In groups, access the internet and download information relevant to your topic. |
| | + | #Organize your downloaded information into folders |
| | + | #In a text document summarize what you have found on your topic. In your document, also give a ranking for your resources and give the reasons for your ranking; this analysis of resource accessed is called meta data of a resource. |
| | + | ===Portfolio=== |
| | + | #You would have developed a concept map for the topic that you want to research on. |
| | + | #Your text document summarizing your internet research, which should contain links to web pages you have accessed |
