About What We Do and Why We're Doing It

Most students already use Google to do research.  This class will add to your Internet skills by helping you learn to use other, often more effective, ways to find information.  You will also practice taking notes on what you read, organizing information, and preparing a presentation for your classmates that will be interesting and easy to read.

Here are some guidelines for your project:

-- You will need three or more online sources for your research project.  We will find them during class.
--  This will provide you with more information, allow you to check whether each piece of information is true, and will help you avoid plagiarizing.

-- To select the subject of your research, you will start out with three or more possible subjects – people who could qualify as heroes for one reason or another.   As you check for available information, you will narrow your search to the one person you are most interested in and for whom you can find the most reliable information.
