Research Website Examples

As promised... Here are a few basic student research website examples I promised from my last blog post.

Review:  Students learned basic online researching skills.  Students selected their research topics based on our novel, The Giver.  We worked through mini-lessons on writing research questions (tough for 7th grade!), searching Google and how Google searchers work, collecting research that answered their research questions, then making connections to the novel we had just completed.

Students were fascinated!

We used www.bibme.org to complete their Works Cited page and then began creating their informational website.  As mentioned in the previous blog, we used Weebly for Education to create the websites because it is user friendly and has security features for education.

Below are examples of the basic finished product of some of my 7th graders.  This was a SHORT 2 week project, so not in depth.  They are raw with NO revisions by me!  Pure 7th grade work.

In order to view the websites, you will need the password:  maas.

Example 1:

Enjoy!
Maas Out!
