[CASL-L] High school research handouts

[Dawn Zillich]

Hi,



Does anyone have handouts, worksheets or other supplemental tools for
teaching research to high school freshmen you are willing to share? My
English department would like me to expand my one day research crash course
into two days. They have given me a blank check to do whatever I want,
including homework and tests. Here is what I have covered in past year
during a regular 42-minute period:



ResearchitCT.org

Google vs. Google Scholar

Sweet Search

Worldcat.org

Bristol Public Library (or student’s local library)

Boolify (Boolean search tool on KidzSearch.com vs. linear algebra in Google)



Any and all tips are welcome!



Thanks,



Dawn M. Zillich, librarian

St. Paul Catholic High School

Bristol, CT



"The old idea of the librarian as a sort of recluse closeted with his books
and

interested only in them is the very antithesis of the modern librarian, who

must live with people equally with books, and who must also be keenly aware

of all that is going on in the world around him."

~Linda A. Eastman~ (Head Librarian of the Cleveland Public Library, 1918 to
1938)
