Name of Unit: Too Much Information!

Teaching research skills to high school students (9-12 grade). These students write research papers for English, History, Government, and Science.

My concern for this unit is narrowing down the skills used so I can write objectives and good framing questions.

**Curriculum Framing Questions:**
  || How can I find and gather appropriate information for my research? What is the best way to organize my information? || What search strategies do I use to find information on the Web? What is the difference between a search engine, metadata search engines, and databases? How are each used to my advantage? What tools do I use to evaluate Web resources? How do I choose information that is most important to my specific research? ||
 * ** Essential Question  ** ||  How do I sort through all the information available?
 * ** Unit Questions ** ||  How do I choose and refine a research topic?
 * ** Content Questions ** ||
