Classroom Culture
For my activity I focused on Internet research and citation. My students are sophomores and it is important that they are able to use correct resources and cite them as they move forward in their high school and college career. I am going to use an existing project in which they do research on two communicable diseases and they will use the Cornell University Website to evaluate their sources and cite them.

Citing sources is a critical skill, particularly when most students will be using the internet as their only research source. Hopefully, in citing sources, students will begin to understand the kind of original, diligent thinking that is necessary to inform on a subject, particularly with respect to Human Biology.
ReplyDeleteIt is very important for students to understand and determine the difference between and good source and bad source. It is equally important how to cite and use the information they have obtained properly.
