I have used this successfully with ninth grade English/language arts students to begin a research project, but I believe it would also work best with students in the middle school grades.
Students will be able to identify criteria (authority, objectivity,
authenticity, timeliness, relevance, and efficiency) for evaluating sources of information.
Students will be asked to reflect upon the following questions: “What does it mean if something is ‘credible?’ Why is credibility important when you are looking for information? For example, if you’re looking for song lyrics, why must that web site be credible?
How else might we evaluate things in our daily lives for both quality and credibility?
Students will then paraphrase major points discussed in the PowerPoint-aided mini-lesson about evaluating resources. They will use the graphic organizer to paraphrase these points.
