  1. Using Keywords Common Sense Media Unit 2 – Lesson 4 Information Literacy

  2. Using Keywords What are keywords, and how do you choose them and use them?

  3. Vocabulary • search: to look for information on the Internet • keywords: the words you use to search for information about a topic

  4. Using Keywords: Warm Up Can you name some reasons why a cat would make a good pet? Would a tiger make a good pet? Why or why not? What things would you need to know about an animal before you got one as a pet? Where would you go to find answers to these questions?

  5. Choose Your Keywords You think guinea pigs are cute. You hope you can talk your family into letting you get one—or maybe even two! To do this, you need the facts. You want to find out if they make good pets, so you can then convince your parents to allow you to get one.

  6. Use Your Keywords • Have you ever done a search online before? • SELECTone of the following kids’ search sites: • Ask Kids • Kid Rex • Yahoo! Kids • Google SafeSearch for Kids

  7. Step 1: Go to your search site (this will vary based on which one you selected). Step 2: Click in the text box next to the Search button. Then type the keywords you have selected. Step 3: Check your spelling and correct it if necessary. Step 4: Click the Search button. You should see a page called “Search Results,” or a list of results somewhere on the page. Step 5: Ask students, “What do you think this page is for?” Guide students to understand that this page shows the results of their search, which are websites that have information about their keywords. Step 6: Look at the list of websites. Which ones do you think might have the answer to your question? Step 7: Click on the site you chose. Look for pictures and information about your pet that help answer the question.
