Begin with the information from your teacher.
Assignment files from your ELA teacher are below, in the left column.
You may want to start looking for information using websites or databases on this screen. The databases need passwords when you are not at school, so remember your MASCOT to open the password file on this screen.
Consider any websites you find on your own carefully. Search with SweetSearch (right column), and use the Website Credibility Checklist also found in the right column of this screen. If you need to use Google, use search strategies like those in the right column (Google Search Tricks).
You may want to look at the Research Refresher page to guide you through your work.
Don't forget to cite your sources of information. There is a link to MyBib down the right column on this screen.
These files are handouts from your teacher.
These websites are examples of reliable, informative sites you can use in your scholarly work. Use these as models in your website evaluation process, or use them for your specific research topic.
These websites offer essays on great hero examples. They may be used as website sources for your project. You should consider the information offered as a starting point for your figure selection.
Use this checklist to help you decide if you can trust a website for your assignment.
