Agenda: 

• Searching Online Databases

  • Scroll down to "Library Online Databases"
• Researching
  • You will need to research at least four sources for your photo essay; try to find at least two today.
  • We're starting with online databases because they will lead us to reliable sources! Different databases have different information, so try searching a few of them in both the specific database category and some of the broader databases. If you're still struggling to find information about your chosen topic, see Mrs. Weber!
  • Remember, keep track of the information you find and keep track of your sources!
  • You can use a digital document (Word in Office 365) or keep notes in your journal, but make sure you can access at school and at home!
  • Practice our note taking strategies from yesterday!
