and related sites regarding the Internet. Quickly search through
some of these to find three that are of interest to you. Choose
from the numbered sites (1-25) and not from the
list of search engines. If the link is broken, you will need to
choose a different one.
- Choose three sites to read more carefully.
Maybe all of them will be on a common topic or theme. For each
site you visit, record the date of your visit. Also, record
the url. Copy (control + C) the url from the address bar and paste
it (control + V) into your table. Then, write a summary
of what you learned from the site. Do this for each web
site you visit. Save your Word doc. often. You do not have to read
the entire site, but skim to find interesting information. Do
Not copy and paste text from the site. Write your summaries
in your own words.
- When you are finished, send your Word document

line of your email should be this: internet. Make sure
it is exact or you won't get credit for that.
