Defining features of reliable sources:

Misconception:

Undergeneralization: "Wall Street Journal has all the features that define a reliable source. This means it is the only reliable source out there."

Overgeneralization: "Wikipedia had correct information once. This means it is guaranteed to have correct information when researching my paper."

Prototype: Peer Reviewed Journals

Non-examples (negative instances): blog posts, wikipedia

Examples (Positive instances): Wall Street Journal, Pew Research, websites with .gov

Gender (will be a mixed class)

Girls: need for social interaction and interaction with peers as well as the teacher. Excessive stress may also be debilitating.

Boys: will require more opportunities to move around. Activities need to have some degree of competition for them to be engaged. Moderate stress is enabling.

Age: 14-15 year olds

Vygotsky: we need to know where the student is at in his zone of proximal development. The student will need help from the teacher through scaffolding and other technological tools to help them understand new information in their zone of proximal development.

Erickson: the child is in its identity vs. role confusion stage. The student at this stage is searching for a sense of self which means exploration will come naturally as they search for meaning. They are expected to search intensely as they seek for answers to questions.

Piaget: the child is in it's Formal operational period which means the student should be able to think more abstractly. This means for my 14 and 15 year olds, they should be able to think more independently in an abstract manner through the help of scaffolding.

Attention span: 12-15minutes without changing activity.
