***For the purposes of this blog, please assume the roles of students in my 12th grade history class. This blog is where I would post homework assignments and general announcements***
Later in the semester you will all be expected to research and write a paper about one of the topics discussed in class. Since this is the second week of school I do not expect you to have chosen topics yet. Right now I am interested to learn how much you know about conducting research on the Internet.
We will have a detailed discussion on Thursday but for now I want you to find at least one website or page that you think is an appropriate source for a research paper (an academic source).
Please provide a link to your source as well as a brief explanation as to why you think it qualifies.
Please post your findings here. I do NOT want to see duplicate sites or information. The Internet is a big place- there is more than enough variety for each of you to find a unique site or page.
These sources do not need to be directly related to your yet-to-be-chosen topic, but please keep them relevant to Social Studies (which covers a lot more than just History).
If you really want to impress me, you could also include a bibliographic citation of the source.
-We will also be discussing correct citation practices later this week.
