Did a session this morning with three grade 8 Humanities classes at once - as a kick-off to them starting to research authoritarian regimes and dictators.
Began with my old favorite - water as information - metaphor, highlighting the quantity and quality problem of internet research. Then showed them Culturegrams and ABC-Clio World History as two alternatives to Google and Wikipedia. Finished with the "Google Doc - Tools - Research" feature (a smart Google search box inside a Google Doc) -- which luckily most of them had seen before.
