Choosing Websites- 2nd Grade

The Second Graders used Google web search to find websites about their insect.  They skimmed through the suggested sites, and they decided on the best site for them.  The students visited each workstation to evaluate the websites; the attributes they evaluated included size of font, vocabulary, length of sentences, organization of information, subtitles and page layout.  The students all agreed that sites with a large font, short and straight-to-the-point sentences, lots of pictures and simple subtitles were the easiest to understand.  The kid's favorite website was  http://www.pestworldforkids.org/index.html.
