Research, WOOT!

Hello Young Scholars!

Well, its getting to be that time in the semester when we start doing some real dirty work with our research papers. That means you will all have to do research. Quit your groaning! It's not that bad! You all have some good topics, we have talked about how they impact your life, and how we can apply them to American society- now we just have to find facts and information to back up your ideas (these are called sources). If you still arent sure exactly what kind of information you need to be looking for, that this exercise is just for you!

Read this article, and create a concept map (following the instructions). If you need help, just ask, but I think this will help you figure out what you will need to be looking for during our research time together. Remember, let's make the most of our time on Wednesday with Mrs. Matthews by being prepared! Have a good idea of what you are looking for BEFORE we go in the library.

Oh, and turn in your concept maps by Friday for your blog grade :)
