Assessment:
The internet gave children information and images of the desired objectives. Children also gain knowledge on how to use the internet to find information. This is the beginning of children becoming researchers. I will assess student learning by their answers to the above questions. I will use a rubric for grading this assignment. I will be looking at their content, the completeness of the assignment and their ability to navigate the internet.
