|
Take a talent or skill, that you are knowledgeable
about and create a multimedia (text, images, and/or sound) tutorial. Others should
be able to learn from following the instructions, reading your anecdotes, and reviewing
examples (text and images). Share resources by other people who are in the field of
your expertise that supports and enhances your knowledge. |
Part One
Choosing a Topic
- Brainstorm a list of five talents, skills, and/or interests that you possess.
- Select two from the list and write for five minutes on each. Explain what you
know that uninformed people do not from just observation and/or hearsay.
- Choose one of the two explanations to be the topic.
Do a preliminary search by category on the topic.
Use Yahoo's Categories to get a
listing. Bookmark useful sights into a folder called 1expertise.
Take notes on new information learned. If further searching is necessary, use:
- Yahooligans: www.yahooligans.com
- Ask Jeeves: www.aj.com
- Ask Jeeves, Jr.: www.ajkids.com
- To use additional search engines, see the teacher first with a list of
five key words for searching.
|
Tip: Enter key words into the
search box of Yahoo.
Yahoo will report a list of categories that contain related
links before displaying individual sites. Select the category that best fits your
topic. If there are several, right-click the link to get the option to open the site
in a new browser window. This way, the categories are still present in the original
window.
Warning
If you do a key word search, it is possible that some inappropriate sites may be
listed. If this should happen, avoid those links by verifying the description.
If such a site is accidentally entered, leave immediately, then notify your
teacher.

- Media Center Research
- Find two books with information on your topic. Look for text, pictures,
statistics, and charts.
- Ask the Media Specialist and Assistants for guidance on possible resources.
- Sign out the books to use as a reference.
- Take bibliographic notes on the books: Author, Title, Editor (if
included), Place of Publication: Publisher, Copy Right Date. Include a summary of
the relation of the book to your topic (25 words).
- Take a page of notes from each book.
