Organization Tips
Before beginning your research, take a moment to create a folder where you can store any articles you download and their "Permalinks" (from databases) or their Website URLs (from the Internet). <br> *Note: It is very important that you have these links for the last slide of your presentation. (You'll be doing minimal citation work, so these links are a must for Mrs. Young!)
Online Encyclopedia and Databases
-
Gale: Opposing Viewpoints
*Do not use the Viewpoints section for this presentation. Your best bets here are: Reference and Biography sections. <br>
*To get the Permalink: Click on the image of the chain that reads "Get Link."
-
Britannica High School
*To get the Permalink: Click on the citation box (the square with the check mark) and copy the address to save in your drive (on a document devoted to links to resources used).
eBooks
Websites
*Use only websites/organizations you come across in your reading from our databases and eBooks and/or have checked in on with Mrs. Young or Mrs. Freeman. *If you use a reputable website from the internet, you need to copy the URL from each page from which you are using information.
