=**Lesson Plan 2 : Examining the Search Results**=


 * Aim:**

What is the difference between a targeted search and an open-ended search?


 * 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 format for citation.


 * Objectives:**


 * Students will learn the difference between a targeted search and an open-ended search and be able to determine when to use each one for the particular search query they have.


 * Vocabulary:**


 * targeted search
 * open-ended search


 * Class Activity:**

1) Come up with 5 **targeted searches** and 5 **open-ended searches**. Perform your searches and indicate how many **search results** you came up with. What was the best **hit** for each and why?

2) Create a new page on your wiki and name it with today's lesson and date, e.g. "Internet Research 2 9.22.13." Write your answers on that page.
