Wiki What?

Resources:

Google search your ‘item’ and add the word wikipedia at the end.
E.G- What is Photosynthesis Wikipedia

What to do:

When you click on the link- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis  replace the en with the word simple and then hit refresh/enter- https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis!
You will now find a more simplified, maybe more accessible version of the information you requested!

Variations:

Use Google Search to get the right reading level resources for your students. Click here for more information!

Teacher tip: on Wikipedia, replace ‘en’ with ‘simple’ to get a simplified, more child-friendly version. #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/lRziLWMBbC

P.S- Always tell your students to quote their sources when researching. Ask them for the links too. I often warn them about the issues behind websites such as wikipeadia and also remind them that Siri is not a source! 🙂
