Using Information!

Guiding Question: What does it mean to use information?

This mini-project is a 2-step project.
1) Today, we are going to look up information using a database. This is a place where we can retrieve quality information.
2) Tomorrow, we are going to use the information that we find today to create a short story about the topic.

Go to http://perspectiveslibrary.wordpress.com
Click on the 'Library Resources' tab.
Click on 'Electronic Resources. . .'
Scroll down to ABC-Clio. Click on one of the different databases. The username AND password are 0400.
Using one of their databases, find information about a topic that you're interested in.
Read about the article.
Post on your blog the following items:
  • Summary
  • Supporting details from the article
  • Keywords, keyphrases
  • Questions you have
  • Citation for the website
