 * Common Core State Standards:**


 * CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.11-12.7** Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.

 * Objectives:**


 * Students will learn how to use the Boolean operators: AND, OR, and NOT.


 * Vocabulary:**


 * Boolean operator
 * Simple search
 * Advanced search
 * Boolean search


 * Class Activity:**

1) In this activity, you are to construct 5 search queries using the AND operator, 5 search queries using the OR operator, and 5 search queries using the NOT operator. Create these queries in terms of an assignment you have for one of your current classes. I also want you to draw your queries on a piece of paper using the diagram above.

2) Record all of your answers by creating a new page on your wiki and labeling it "Internet Research 7" along with today's date.
