1. So I decide to search: Pollution from Cars using GOOGLE as my search engine If I then click on “SEARCH TOOLS”, I can refine my search based on three categories. Follow along on laptops.

2. Using the “Reading Level” option, I can click on the reading level I want so I am sure I can read and understand the article. Here, only 6% of the articles are in the basic reading level….So I click on BASIC and only those articles come up. Let’s face it…if you can’t read it, you can’t research it!

3. You can also click to see images, news, videos, shopping, and “More” Images and videos will not be part of your essay, but they can be used to gather information. The NEWS link however, is often up to date information….

4. Now that you have your source, document it. http://www.epa.vic.gov.au/air/aq4kids/car_pollution.asp MY SOURCE: Article: Reducing Car Pollution By EPA Victoria, State Government Last updated February 2014 This I found on the homepage, sometimes you have to search for the date or author or publisher. This was at the bottom of the page, a great place to look!

5. Practice Searching the following phrases to see what you find Change the reading level, images, etc. 1.Lengthen school day 2.Cell phones in school 3.Social Media and Kids
