Activity & Discussion
Today’s class was a quiet work session during which students continued using CultureGrams to find 10 facts about their second country. Students were reminded to fill in the source box for every fact they recorded; when a fact came from CultureGrams, students could write “CG” in the source box.
Students took notes on their Cornell Method note-taking sheets, while Ms. Hickson demonstrated how to use the Facts on File-World Atlas (FOF) database.
Students used the remainder of the period to find an additional five facts about each of their countries, for a total of 15 facts about each country.
Homework
Finish finding 15 facts about each country using the tools we have discussed (CultureGrams database, Facts on File-World Atlas database, or web sites found with Google). Be sure to complete a Web Evaluation form for any/all web sites you use. (Hint: Find 1 good, informative web site that will provide at least 10 facts so that you don’t have to evaluate more than 1 site.) You do not need to evaluate the school’s databases. Be sure to fill in the source field for each fact.
