The Middle Ages

Being someone who does a huge research project with my sophomores, it was refreshing to have the reinforcement of using "credible research." I had never thought of using the smart search to limit their sites. I usually tell them that it must end in .gov .edu or .org. I will have to try this in the fall with their multigenre projects.

I like how this lesson layers on the idea that even though it was centuries ago, it can still be relevant today. I think that students are more likely to "listen" to us when technology is involved. They will still find interesting details, like Cathy and I with the showing of mens' buttocks in clothing....HA!
