Now that you have chosen a topic within 1940-1979, you will conduct research to collect background information. Read the following directions carefully.
In the computer lab you will use the internet to find useful websites about your topic. Only use websites that end in .edu,gov,org. Wikipedia is NOT an acceptable source. You must find at least 3 internet sources.
Students will submit a total of 30 facts about their chosen topic. Number each fact. Put the source (website) above the facts from that particular source. The facts must be in your own words and should be one to two sentences in length. Do not plagiarize or you will receive a 0 for a grade. See the September 11 example below that shows you how to set up your response.
At the end of the period, make sure you click on name/url, enter your name and click “publish.” (do this even if you aren’t finished!) Finish for homework.
