Printouts From 2 Credible Sources

You need them in class on Monday, March 16!

After a quiz today on chapters 15-17, we got into research groups and discussed preliminary information and ideas about where to get credible research about the persecution event. The research assignment for Monday is to find--and print or photocopy--two CREDIBLE sources that discuss the causes and/or effects of your event. Here is the information from the power point slides that I showed today in class:

For Monday, March 16th:
1. Find two CREDIBLE sources of information about the causes and effects of your event.
2. Print out the sources including author, title, date of publication, etc. information.
3. Bring your sources to class on Monday.

**REMINDER: CREDIBLE sources...
Come from university sites, respected organizations, etc.
Name an author
Offer a bibliography

YOUR SOURCES FOR MONDAY MUST BE CREDIBLE!!

A great place to look is the EHS databases (SIRS and EBSCO in particular):
EHS DATABASE LIST
**You need the EHS passwords for these databases--hopefully you wrote them down in class.

As Kelly P. pointed out first hour, you can also try looking at news sites like the NY Times. When I googled "New York Times Darfur," I got a long list of interesting (and credible) articles about the situation there.

Also--read pp. 154-167 for tomorrow. If you didn't read pp. 136-153, please try to get that done for tomorrow as well since things are truly falling apart for Okonkwo.

GO HORNETS!!!!
