TODAY ...
- Get a laptop from the laptop cart - and give me the number of the laptop you select. This will be your assigned laptop for the remainder of the year.
- We will start out using the Library Database for our research - DO NOT GOOGLE SEARCH ... YOU WILL END UP WITH SOURCES YOU CANNOT USE AND WILL HAVE TO TRASH THEM AND START OVER.
- To reach the Library Databases ...
- Go to the district website www.sfisd.org
- Hover over "STUDENTS" and click on "DESTINY LIBRARY" on the pop menu
- Click on "Santa Fe High School"
- To start with (and this may be the only site many/most of you will need for this particular project) look under "ONLINE DATABASES" and click on "GALE DATABASES"
- Click on "OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS IN CONTEXT"
- Search for your topic - add keywords about your issue if you need the search to be more specific.
- Take your time and read/scan through the information you find - we will work today and tomorrow in the classroom reading and scanning, so you will have time to dig for your 6-7 sources. As you find sources relevant to your argument (or opposing arguments/viewpoionts), you SHOULD be able to download and save to your OneDrive ... from there, when we go to the computer lab, you will be able to print your sources.
