Using the Internet, the students and teacher will go into selected sites to perform the search process. Depending upon student access to the Internet, this lesson could continue all year. Lead this discussion into a comparison of the Internet as a net that holds volumes of information about all kinds of topics. Go into the Internet web site of the student's choice and access it. This site is fun, and will provide structure to the student's exploration of the Internet.
Students participate in the brainstorming session and cooperate in using the Internet for a search.
Students can give a verbal report on their favorite site and how it was accessed. Enrichment activities will depend on the computer skills of the students. Additional web mapping can provide excellent practice in selecting word qualifiers to be used in an Internet search.
