This lesson plan, which has a Halloween theme to its PowerPoint and activity, is designed to introduce students to the idea of synthesizing sources. The plan includes two activities, with the first one using Halloween monsters and the second one using a series of Halloween-related scholarly articles. The articles are not included in this lesson plan for copyright/accessibility reasons - I'd recommend choosing 3-5 current Halloween articles that are all revolving around similar themes. I chose articles about Halloween costume choice. Print out the abstract of the article and provide that to the students.
This ENGH 101 lesson introduces students to how to evaluate sources. It begins with a Kahoot and then discusses aspects of evaluation like authority and accuracy. It uses 4 moves and a habit as a way to evaluate sources.
This session, aimed at ENGH 101 students, integrates source types and how to search using the databases. After a short presentation, students practice the RADAR test for source evaluation and searching databases using their own topics.
In this lesson plan, students learn about the types of information, as well as what sources are available for those information types. After that, students listen to a short news story and break up into small groups to establish keywords and research questions based on that story. They then share out what their group recorded. Options for a worksheet and/or a whiteboard activity are included.
