Getting Started! Click on the jl;jkl;j;lj;jlj button in the bottom left- hand corner of the screen. A menu will pop up. It should look like this:

Get Online! From your menu select the Internet Explorer option. Clicking on this icon will get you online. We’re ready to get started!

Let’s go! Now that you are online, delete the current address in the address box. Type in and then press Enter.

Search it! You’re doing great. Now we’re going to use this search engine to find exactly what we’re looking for. In the search box type in “Little Red Riding Hood” Now click on the “Search” button with your mouse.

Which one? Now a list of links will appear. Double click on the first link that says “Little Red Riding Hood, online at ifyoulovetoread.com”

Read, Read, Read! There are two versions of “Little Red Riding Hood” on this site. Read the first one: “Little Red Cap”

Your Job! Answer the following questions on a separate sheet of paper: 1. Who are the main characters? 2. What is the setting of this story? 3. What items are the main character delivering? 4. What happens at the conclusion of the story? 5. In your opinion, what is the major theme of this story? Support your answer. Why do you think this is the theme?

Keep that info!!! We will be using the answers to these questions for when we compare different versions of “Little Red Riding Hood.” At the end of class, be sure to put this piece of paper in your Language Arts folder so we will have it for future reference!

We have to give them credit… Whenever we use information that someone else wrote, we must give the original author credit for his or her work. This is called citing the source. For a webpage we need to gather the following information: *Name of the author (if given) *Title of the article (in quotation marks) *Title of webpage (underlined) *Date you looked at the website (today!) *URL address (in )

Author Oftentimes the author can be found at the very bottom of the page. Scroll to the bottom of the website. Only her first and last name are needed. The address is not necessary.

“Title of the Article” The article is the actual story that you read. Be careful! There are two different stories on this webpage, but you only read the first one.

Title of the Webpage You can find the official title of the website at very top of the page.

The URL is the website address, located near the top of the page.

Put it all together! Now you have all the necessary information to complete your citation. Here is a model of what yours should look like. Fill in the information you just found, using the model below. Write this citation on the same piece of paper as the answers to your questions. Author. “Title of the Article.” Title of the Web Page. 1 October
