=**Lesson Plan 8 : Advanced Search Forms**=


 * Aim:**

What is an advanced search form and how and when should I use one?


 * 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.


 * CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.11-12.8** Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the strengths and limitations of each source in terms of the task, purpose, and audience; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and overreliance on any one source and following a standard format for citation.


 * Objectives:**


 * Students will learn about the advanced search features of search engines like Google.


 * Vocabulary:**


 * Advanced search form


 * Class Activity:**

1) Go to @http://www.google.com/advanced_search.

2) Type //marine biology// in the "Find pages that have this exact wording or phrase:" text box.

3) Type //careers// OR //jobs// in the second "Find pages that have any of these words" text box.

4) Click the File type arrow and click Adobe Acrobat PDF (.pdf) in the drop down menu to specify that the search results must be PDF files.

5) Type //.edu// in the "Search within a site or domain" text box.

6) Click the Advanced Search button to perform the search.

7) Notice how your advanced search query appears in the search bar: "careers OR jobs "marine biology" site:.edu filetype:pdf." As you become familiar with advanced searches you will be able to type your search in the search box using the same advanced tools without having to use the advanced search feature of Google.

8) Practice using Google's Advanced search features to perform a few more searches. Go back to Advanced search in Google and type in //wild horses burros adoption//, limiting your search to pages in English, and .gov sites.

9) What does your search look like in the Google search bar? Create a new page on your wiki and record all of your answers there. Name your page Internet Research 8" with today's date.

10) Go back to Google's Advanced search and type in //galaxies planets// in the "Show results with any of these words" text box.

11) Type //nasa.gov// in the "site or domain" text box.

12) Click the "file type " drop down menu and choose Microsoft Powerpoint (.ppt).

13) Click search and record what your search looks like in the search bar. Notice that you only have Powerpoint files from Nasa.gov in your list of search results.

14) Now I want you to perform 5 additional searches using Google's Advanced search feature. Think of an assignment you have for school, or something you are learning in class that you would like to know more about, e.g. economics.

15) Create a new page on your wiki and name it with today's lesson and date, e.g. "Internet Research 8 10.20.13." Write your answers on that page.
