Last Week of Instruction, Fall 2014
Monday:
Digital Literacy /Primary and Secondary Sources.
Using the names of ancestors or others you collected over the weekend, you will search for original documents that pertain to them by using the website <www.familysearch.org>, a genealogy resource.
Look for primary sources:read information on birth certificates, death certificates, tax rolls, probate papers, and more. Notice how there is a summary (secondary resource) for all these documents, as well. Notice, too, the commericalisation of genealogical information <www.ancestry.com>. Make notes of what you find so that if you were to be writing a report on this relative/person, you could return to the source.
Tuesday: School Resources and Students.
We will read from The Sounds, the school newspaper, written by students.
Answer questions about articles, about the paper, about subjects written about in the paper.
Wednesday: Self Evaluation for the Quarter
Read the Self Evaluation Form and complete it as a group and as individuals.
Thursday: Register for next quarter.
