Teach your class some strategies for effective searching. Pupils should assess the whole results screen and then determine how to go forward with their searches. A table of strategies is included, as is a challenge. After they complete their search challenge, class members should pick out a strategy that interests them and write an advice column about it. Put these together into a book so that it can be used for reference later!
