Using Internet Information
The Internet offers a wide variety of information on all kinds of topics. You
will examine a number of websites to gather information to answer the questions
that you developed. Be sure to have a copy of those questions available to you
as you work.
Some Important Tips!!!
Don't forget to look
at links on each site, and explore the ones that sound most promising.
Use the
back button to return to each original site and explore some
more!
Once at a
site, remember to scan the information carefully to find answers to the
questions that you have listed. Save only those words, phrases, and ideas which
are clearly related to your questions.
Paraphrase
rather than copy word-for-word from your sources. Keep only the best and most
relevant information!
Make sure that you cite the source when you take notes from any
of these or other websites. Your citation should look something like this:
