02.06 - Big Rooty / Using Marvel and Google

At the beginning of class today, we reviewed the set 09 roots and prefixes with a new language game called "Big Rooty". I taught everyone the game and then we brought in the roots and prefix element as a way of reviewing for the quiz (rules and notes from class below). We then had the set 09 quiz which we corrected together in class.

Next, I reviewed how to access the online Student Research Center through Marvel database and looked at how to use Google and Google Scholar to find sources related to everyone's public figures. A review video of how to use these searches is available below. The video was made for a class doing another topic, but all of the advice and information regarding how to use the search engines is solid for any project and general interest.




Homework:

Identify three strong (reliable with plenty of information) for your public figure.

Complete missing work and revise any assignment that scored below a 3.
