 This is an activity for reading called talking to the text. It's helpful in thinking through new information Let's say that I'm interested in visiting Leavenworth, Washington So I decided to do a Google search to get some information about it What phrase would you put in the box? What keywords? Give it a second and think about it. I chose the phrase vacation in Leavenworth, Washington Immediately I get a list of suggestions from Google that are trying to help me narrow down the options Naturally, if I choose one of these suggestions, I'm going to get less results There are bound to be less options for dog-friendly hotel rooms in Leavenworth Then just suggestions for any old vacation in Leavenworth, Washington These suggestions make me think about what I actually want Last time I went to Leavenworth I stayed in a cabin outside of town and it was pretty nasty So I'm interested in trying a different path this time. I select vacation packages in Leavenworth, Washington Go ahead and look at this search result page, but do not click on one of the options What I'm going to do is this Think about what I believe is within each one of these results before I open the link These first ones are ads These next ones are for TripAdvisor Expedia, which is a thing that could help me, but it's also pretty spammy and always opens new windows So it's annoying to use This one down here It's from the Leavenworth.org site. It could be an old-fashioned website. That's not updated often or It could be something that's put together By people who actually live and work in Leavenworth See here with the Chamber of Commerce I'm going to open and find out. Ooh I like it. I'm gonna look around here for a while Looks like I can do some cool stuff and get a deal and I had never even thought about wine tasting there I've only been there in the winter time Your assignment is going to do a similar thing pay attention to the directions from your professor and Soon you'll be doing your own talk to the text using Google everybody's best search front Good luck, and we hope to see you in the library to talk about such things soon
