I chose the 3rd grade standard 2.RI.1
which requires students to demonstrate understanding and form new questions
from text. I could give the students graphic organizers and have them select a
topic. I would show students have to use ProQuest and some of the search
modification features. From there I would have them use the computers to look
for an article on their topic. I would have them write 3 things they learned
from the article and then have them write three things they still wanted to
know. From there I would have them modify their search again to see if they
could research answers to the questions they just formed.
That is a very good assignment! I like how it keeps the learning going. Do keep in mind that ProQuest is for HS-adults, so in real life, use this assignment with SIRS Discoverer. :) Thanks for a good idea here!
