About this resource
Description
The using digital sources assessment worksheet checks how well third graders gather facts from print and digital sources. Students today find information in library books, on websites, and in online videos, so they need to know what kind of source they are using, how to search for it, and how to pull out the facts that matter. This one-page assessment covers all three steps in a short, kid-friendly format.
How to Use This Worksheet
Students begin by sorting four sources into a Print column and a Digital column. Next, they read three short research questions and fill in the bubble beside the most useful words to type into a search box. Finally, they read a short web page about sea turtles and take notes, writing one fact under the Food topic and one under the Home topic. Use the using digital sources assessment worksheet as a pre-check before a research project or as a quick review after a lesson on online searching.
What’s Included
- Part A: sort print and digital sources into a two-column chart
- Part B: three multiple-choice items on choosing strong search words
- Part C: a short web page passage with a note-taking chart sorted by topic
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it builds the habit of asking where information comes from, which is the start of good research. Second, it shows children that a few clear keywords bring better search results than vague or extra words. Third, it gives practice taking brief notes and sorting evidence into categories, a key third grade writing standard.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Gather a real library book, a magazine, and a tablet, and let students sort them before starting the page. After Part B, test the chosen search words together on a kid-safe search site and compare the results. For Part C, invite students to add a third topic of their own from the web page. This 3rd grade research skills worksheet also pairs well with a short research report on an animal of their choice.
