Questions that will come up:

Students: “Mr. Green-Hite, now that I know how to find my information from going from general to specific through searches, how do I evaluate that information, how do I cite that information, and how do I make sure I don’t run foul of plagiarism?” Mr. Green-Hite replies, “Kids, those are all good questions and one that we will be looking at beginning today and continuing on into next week!”

Find two sites that are more "subject to interpretation" and evaluate them using the evaluation sheet attached. I will go over what is generally on a web page and how to look for it.
See attached for the “Evaluating Internet Resources”. You will be doing two of them evaluating two web pages of your choice. This time, please print them out and hand them in!

Citations for Web Pages. You will be going to the David Douglas High School Web Site and citing two web pages on the same word document. Go to the official high school web site at http://ddhs.ddouglas.k12.or.us/ and go to the media and library button. From there, go to the OSLIS button (We did this together when we did our searches). Go to the APA Citation link on the right side. You will use the “Internet, Web Page – Personal” for your personal one and then you have to figure out which citation you use for the two web sites I have provided. One will be for www.portlandmaps.com and one will be for file:///E:/Qualitative%20Class%20GFU/FullText(2).html and the final citation will be of your choice. When the citations are done, they will appear at the bottom. Copy and paste them in a blank document with the heading “Citations” with your name and class period at the bottom. This sheet will be printed and handed in!

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite
