Online research

The Grade 4 students have been working with Ms Rachel learning about online research tools.
We will be using Britanica for safe, true and timely information in class and at home.

To log into the account the students need to search for ispp destiny.



The students bookmarked this site and can easily access it when in the computer lab in the future.



The students will click on 
  • Databases and Journals
  • Elementary
  • Biographies
They will then select a letter of the leaders name and the leaders name.

For an example we read a short article about Malala Yousafzai and made short jot notes of the important information. 









We also discussed citation. 
They students are aware they need to cite information that they are using but did not write. 
We cite to show where we got the information from. 

We will be citing using the MLA system.
We will practice copying and pasting using the MLA citation tool when researching next week.
