Pass the Paper
Should students be allowed to use their cell phones daily as a computer in our schools? Why or why not?
Minute Paper
• Students use significant points, unanswered questions, and new connections (ah-ha’s) from a reading selection to write a short paper in just one minute.
In one minute…• Students must organize thoughts and get
to the point quickly• It can be done on a half piece of paper• Can be done at the end of a lesson• Can be done within a section to check for
attention or comprehension
Believing and Doubting Game• Helps students “try on” other perspectives
in order to more deeply understand the values and assumptions behind opinions other than their own
• Some school cafeterias are going to allow fast food restaurants to serve in their cafeterias at lunch…Is this a good or bad thing?

Research Skills
I have a topic for my research. What’s Next?
1. Think about what kinds of information you need. Biographical information Quotations Maps Diary entries Diagrams Narratives Statistics etc.
Some ways to determine if a website is credible:
• look at the bottom of the website and see if there is information about when the website was last updated – A website that was recently updated in 2007-2008
• try to determine who created the site or where the information on the site came from– A website created by the Lincoln Park Zoo
• see if there are any organizations that sponsored the website– An organization sponsored this Website– Seal of Approval
Hints from URLs
-.edu = educational institution
-.gov = US government site
-.org = organization or association
-.com = commercial site
-.net = personal or other site
most of the time websites that end in .gov or .edu or .org are credible sites
A website that ends in .org
Is the source relevant to your topic?
-Thoughtful
-Logical
-Helps you look at something differently
-Gives you possible answers for your topic questions
-Evidence for your Topic
It’s A KEEPER!
Effective Note-taking
What should my notes look like?Notes are sometimes also taken journal style.
Specific tips to facilitate use later on Include topic, source, internet address,
and page number to allow you to document your sources and to return to your source if necessary.
Works Cited
Keep a list of your works cited.
Indicate on your notes which source they come from.
This will be important later when you are working on quotes, paraphrases and summaries that need parenthetical citations.
