1) Develop a list of four credible Internet sites related to your topic or author. 2) Use a variety of sources, including newspaper, radio, college or professional website, foundation or government or NGO website, or academic publication. Remember to look for four sites using a variety of search engines and use the “+” sign to narrow your search. Make sure you find different sites including primary sources and secondary sources. 3) Collect information to have a bibliography for your research project. There is a guide in your planner.
 * 1) Remember…a search engine is not an Internet site
 * 2) Academic source that you can trust not one that is a “grade saver” or “editable”

For each of the four sites, create the following bullet points: * Title of the page * The URL * The Author of the material/Institution where the site is housed * What information is included on the website in general * ONE quote from the information * How you know it is **credible** * What it says about your topic that is unique or important * Why you chose it. * How it helps you understand the topic.

DO NOT CUT AND PASTE FROM THE WEBSITE EXCEPT FOR YOUR QUOTE!!
