As our third graders begin to look at informational text, one important skill is learning how to search for online information. In this lesson, we talk about different types of searches and how to select keywords when doing an internet search. We talk about the different places where we can get information, including books, online databases, and by searching online. We discuss the benefits of each of these tools for learning. The students then practiced answering specific questions by using keywords to conduct searches as they went on a searching scavenger hunt.
