Introduction

MI Introduction (LSI Quadrant I):

Ask the students if they have ever done any research.

If they have, ask the students what they used to do their research.

Inform the students that the Internet has not been around for a long time, and before then, people had to do thorough research in a library to find the information they needed.

Tell the students that today we will discuss the basic functions of the Internet. Say that most people use the Internet daily without knowing the true functions of its different parts.

Outline

MI Outline (LSI Quadrant II): Instructor Notes:

Lesson Overview a. Deliver the presentation

Lets See What You Can Find -- Internet Search

a. The first three questions should be done as a class so that students can get an idea of how to search.

When necessary, connect to the Internet to show students what you are explaining.

Also, make sure that students take thorough notes during this presentation. They will need to know specific definitions. Break the students into groups of two.

Allow the students to use the Internet to find the information located on the handout.


3

Word Search a. The students will find the terms that

they have taken notes on in the word search

All About the Internet a. The students will take this to become

more knowledgeable of the test.

Test a. The students will take the test on the

information that they have learned

They can use any search engine.

Split the students into groups of 4. The first students to get them correct can receive extra points on the assignment.

Do not allow students to use the internetonly notes. This will be an independent assignment. Students can use the Internet and notes to get the correct answers

After the assignment, review each section.

Give the students the correct answers and explain why they are correct. Do not allow students to use notes on the test.

Application

MI Guided Practice (LSI Quadrant III):

The teacher will interactively deliver the presentation and give students information about the Internet. When necessary, the teacher will guide the students to the Internet so that they can click and follow with the presentation.

MI Independent Practice (LSI Quadrant III):

The students will complete the All About the Internet Assignment. The students can use the Internet and notes, but they must work alone. This will prepare the students for the test.

Summary

MI Review (LSI Quadrants I and IV):


4

After completing the assignments, the students should understand the basic Internet functions. Students should be able to actively use the Internet. With the information learned, the students will understand the different parts of the Internet.

Evaluation

MI Informal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III):

As the students complete the Internet search in groups, the teacher will walk around and make sure that students are properly using the Internet.

MI Formal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III, IV):

After the students have completed the Internet searches and the All About the Internet assignment, the teacher will give the students a test on the information that they have learned. This will test the information that they have learned through the presentation and the activities. The students will be required to select correct answers and provide answers for open-ended questions.

Extension

MI Extension/Enrichment (LSI Quadrant IV):

Once the students have learned the basic function of the Internet, the students can reflect on what they have learned in order to properly use it. Students should be able to identify the different parts of the Internet screens. With this information; students can do basic research and eventually learn about doing proper research and finding reliable sources.
