[ISLMA-Share] Boolean Search Help

When my middle schoolers are doing endangered species, I use "bears NOT Chicago" to teach them to eliminate all the sites about football.

Subject: [ISLMA-Share] Boolean Search Help

Hi all,

I am doing some Google News tips and Boolean searching strategies with a high school Current History class tomorrow. They have been researching DACA, North Korea, and the Rohingya crisis as a class, so I'm hoping to tie into what they already know. I'm having trouble coming up with a good example for using the NOT Boolean search strategy. Can anyone give me a good example using one of those topics to try?

Thanks!
