This lesson, which includes options for online and face-to-face modalities, incorporates a news story about K-Pop to demonstrate creating a research question, constructing a search strategy, and finding relevant sources. Students are asked to work individually to create a research topic that is less than six degrees separated from K-Pop, then work in groups to compare keywords and brainstorm together. Finally, those groups come back together to find a scholarly source related to their question.
This session, aimed at ENGH 101 students, integrates source types and how to search using the databases. After a short presentation, students practice the RADAR test for source evaluation and searching databases using their own topics.
