Agenda
Meet in computer lab
Do Citing Websites activity
Homework
Finish citing websites activity
Today was an exercise in frustration. We met in the computer lab to do an exercise involving doing online research and writing up the results in your own words, using proper citations in MLA format for a website.
Unfortunately the computer lab's internet connection was broken. So we switched to a different computer room, which had internet access but didn't have a printer (and half the computers didn't have microsoft word).
So we had to improvise a lesson in how to judge whether a website is a reliable source of information. And the actual citing websites activity became homework. If students follow the instructions in the Citing Websites post (right below this one) you'll get it.
By the way all ten of the websites in the citing websites post are fake!
