Good afternoon everyone,
throughout the past few weeks, we all have been working extremely hard to prove that our own source is the best to find useful and reliable information. We are Primary Sources and Periodicals, and now we are going to prove to you we know the most about Japanese and Canadian Society today. You will learn about, music, clothing, food, government and much more.
Thank You and I hope you enjoy our presentation.

Our opening Statement!

Good afternoon, Mr. Gelmon and fellow students.
This Opening statement will show why books are the best...

Yes, Google may have millions of web pages. Yes, Wiki's may have unlimited amounts of information. Yes, Periodicals can be useful. And yes, Primary Sources are first hand.
But, then there are books...
And that is Our group!
We believe books are the finest source, because, you don't need Wi-Fi, you don't need to put stress on yourself by searching for hours for an old newspaper, you don't need to worry about your information being false... all you have to worry about is being overloaded with information.
As Charles W. Eliot said:
"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers."
We are sure by the end of our presentation on Japanese and Canadian society you all will feel that books are very helpful sources!

Sincerely,
Hana, Carly, Dara and Shane.

Mr. Gelmon and fellow grade six students,

Google is a search engine that can get you anywhere you want and gives you access to millions on websites. There is no point in having books, encyclopedias, periodicals and primary sources when you can have it all with Google. At Google can you search about anything you want. There is endless information; we were so overwhelmed by having so much information to choose from. There are good quality websites and you can find images, videos and E-Mail, all of them available to you with just a click of a button. It can also save you lots of money and time because of online books, magazines, newspapers etc…
You have to buy books but you don’t have to buy Google. We have Nadav doing economy and food, Maayan doing agriculture, interest’s and language, Jennie doing culture and immigration and Josha doing population, government and laws Look at all of this information we got from one search engine.

Introduction: Wikipedia

Mr.Gelmon and fellow students,


Our group is the Wikipedia group and we feel that our source is the best in many aspects. Beating most other groups with our big advantage, there’s no limit to what you can find. There are over 20 mill Wikipedia pages and they come in all languages.

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. Many people do post to Wikipedia, but, on scientific matters, Wikipedia came close to the accuracy of Encyclopedia Britannica.

In our presentation we will be including: music, languages, population, art, cultural beliefs, technology, traditional clothing, culture, food and sports. We have learnt many interesting facts about Japan and Canada and are looking forward to sharing them with you.


Thank you.

Opening Statement

Good afternoon fellow grade 6 students and Mr.Gelmon,

Today we will be talking about the two best sources, periodicals and primary sources. Our sources, have the most reliable and useful information. We are very happy to be here representing primary sources and periodicals for we KNOW that they are the best sources, and throughout this debate we will tell you why.

A periodical is a newspaper or a magazine that comes out regularly over periods of time. Primary sources are firsthand information (that’s how you know it’s reliable) written by a person like a journal or a letter, it can also be an artifact or a photograph.

Today we will be discussing the differences between Canadian and Japanese Society.

By multi talented and artistic Gil we have art and religion.

By dance maniac Noga, music and food.

Two-time speech contest winner Izzy will be talking about government, economy and laws.

Soccer champion Neeve will be discussing immigration laws and language

And last but definitely not least two-time speech contest winner Leor with food and tourism.

By the end of our presentation we are sure that you will agree that periodicals and primary sources are THE BEST sources!

Thank you.

By: Leor, Noga, Izzy, Neeve and Gil

Opening Statement

Mr. Gelmon and fellow grade six students,

In the future it is going to be important to know how to do research, and there are going to be many sources out there to use. Some sources are superior to others. We are here to show you that Wikipedia is by far the most superior source to use. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that is written by people educated in the subject and is checked by experts to make sure the information is correct. It is a great source for information and we will present it in the differences of Japanese and Canadian society. We will be presenting the topics Interests, ethnicity, languages, government, culture, economy, population and tourism.

Thank you and enjoy!

Opening Statement

Mr. Gelmon and our fellow classmates,


Throughout your life you will need to do research for projects, jobs, and other things in your lifetime. To be able to research is one of the many skills you will need to learn in elementary school. This skill will take you on amazing journeys throughout your life. When you choose to research, use Google. Our group, the Googles has found amazing information with this source. Google is accessible; convenient and you can use it on any computer model with Internet access. Google is easy to use and is available in any language. Google has more information than most other sources (Books, Wiki’s, Primary Sources/Chronicles, and Periodicals.) Let me ask you, how many times have you used Google, Google images or even Gmail? Most of your answers, would be everyday. Google offers so many programs that make our source better than the rest.


Thank You,

Barbara, Danielle, Ashley, Yaakov & Gabriel
