Important Notes!!!

  • Don't forget to look at links on each site, and explore the ones that sound most promising.

  • Use the back button to return to each original site and explore some more!

  • Once at a site, remember to scan the information carefully to find answers to the questions that you have listed. Save only those words, phrases, and ideas which are clearly related to your questions.

  • A word of CAUTION: Remember that not everything you read on the web is factual. Anyone can publish their opinions on a personal website. These "personal" sites can usually be recognized by a tilde (~) somewhere in the URL.

  • Paraphrase rather than copy word-for-word from your sources. Keep only the best and most relevant information! Make sure that you cite the source when you take notes from any of these or other websites. For information on what your citations should look like, click here.
