Step 2: Find What You Need
Lesson Plan
Do your students breeze through internet search results, easily weeding out irrelevant results and finding exactly what they need? No? This step offers a detailed look at how to search for and find reliable, relevant information on the internet. Students practice going through a set of sample search results, then use a guided process to compile a list of possible information sources about their issue.
This resource was created with support from the National Association of Counties.

- Make sense of internet search results and find relevant results
