Stage+3

__Welcome to The Corpus Christi Library Wikispace for Stage 3 __ __Term 1__ A wikispace is where you can access what you need to do each week in the library

For you to do:


 *  Open up wikispace on laptops http://ccsilibrary.wikispaces.com/
 * Save to your favourites
 * Write address in your books.
 * Using A4 paper draw or use the computer to create a poster of your favourite genre.
 * It should include: the name of the genre, a definition of the genre (use the sheet in your books) and a list or pictures of some books from that genre we have in the library (Use Athena).

**Search Hints **
 * Use speech marks " "to keep two words together eg type in "weather balloons" so the search engine looks for sites on the subject of weather balloons instead of weather and/or balloons.


 * Use + or **and** to show that you are interested in looking at sites with two or more of the keywords you have entered eg weather (space) +balloon means you want to look at sites that contain information about both weather and balloons. Or **weather and balloons and forecast** means you want to look at sites that contain information to do with the weather, balloons and forecasts (not just one or two of these subjects).


 * Use - or **not** to show subjects that you are not interested in eg weather (space)+balloon (space)-history means you are interested in weather balloons but not their history. You also need **not** when you are searching for a word with two meanings eg St George. You would search for St George **not** football or **not** NRL.


 * Activity: **** With a partner choose a topic you are interested in to search on the computer. **
 * 1) ** Record the name of the topic: **
 * 2) ** One student selects the keywords and searches- record the amount of websites the search generates: **
 * 3) ** The other student suggests ways from above to limit or refine the search. **
 * 4) ** Record the amount of websites the search then generates and say if it has limited or widened the search. **

[|How to check a website] __Activity:__ Use the poster to remember the things in the checklist. Choose a website that interests you and use the website worksheet to determine if it provides quality information. Every time you find a new piece of information, try to answer all the questions so that you can make up your own mind whether it is quality information or not. Finally, never follow advice from the Internet unless you are sure it is correct.
