Most of these questions involved a search for basic facts. | Several probing Web site evaluation questions guided students in identifying exploration into some of the more complex aspects of the topic. Questions evolved and grew more thoughtful through the activity. |
| Research Process | No clear process was used. Surfing, not researching, best describes the activity. | A process or step-by-step procedure was used to move the research forward. The process didn't change or adapt, but was more a recipe than a road map. | The process began with a clear purpose and intelligently followed good leads. The process was open to change and adapting based on new findings. |
