Children: |
- Choose a topic currently being studied. Ask the children to list what they know. Talk about where else information can be found. Use magazines with topics, choosing ones which list the web address.
- Demonstrate choosing a site from a favourites list and how to print a page from the internet. Then ask the children to pick a card from a box of topics. Ask each group to use their card and an appropriate URL from the favourites list to find their information. Ask the children to find information and print out a page for each working group. Ask the children to highlight the text to show the key information.

Points to note |
Many magazines and companies quote a web address in their articles or advertisements. It is essential that the cards/topics match the URLs chosen by the teacher. The topics chosen should reflect a range of sites which are already on your favourites list. By using cards, you can ensure that children choose different sites and will be able to share their information. The sites should include text, pictures and hyperlinks to other web sites.
