Due to the age of the students, the CT and I agreed that we would provide the students with various types of information- online, texts, fact sheets, pictures.
I started the search today to find appropriate online information. I have found in the past that it is quite difficult to find age appropriate info, plus this group of children have very little research experience, and no experience with inquiry.
Search #1
Terms used- research middle primary
Result- not good. Got heaps of sites about research about middle primary, which, in hindsight, makes sense really!
Search #2- information for kids
Result- better. checked out yahooligans first. I used to use this a lot years ago. It has been considerably revamped since then. Looks much groovier, but still lots of links to get through to get to the info. Once I found it, it was worth it. I'll use this- http://kids.yahoo.com/animals
Search #3- information for kids au
Result- added au on the end in the hope that I would get some Australian sites devoted to 8 and 9 year olds, didn't work. Got lots of sites with info about Australia... aaagghhh!!!
...to be continued
