I have an easy lesson plan for grades 4-7, that involves students in a completion and shows them the importance of using both books and internet sources for information,
For the set up , I have some non-fiction books, a set of encyclopedias, and computers - laptops, desktops, or chrome books.
Think of some simple questions that students might need the answer to- What year was Lincoln president? When did the civil war start? Link the question to what the students are doing in Social studies or science so it has some significance.
For class prep: Go over /ask students to tell the class how to find items in books and encyclopedia quickly/ ) use the table of contents, index, know the Encyc are in alphabetical order.
Hand out the questions to each group. Students will work together to find answer. One person in each group should be a time keeper, writing down how much time it takes to get the answer. Students write the answer down with the time.
See who gets the correct answer first!! Each group can state the answer , their source, and how much time it took to get the answer.
If time permits, students can do another round of questions.
Exit ticket: Have students determine what source is best for the quickest answer.
