Great Search Engines

Assignments for Monday

Dear Hannah and Class:

I will post the excellent search engines later this afternoon.  I apologize for forgetting to tell you them yesterday.  I so enjoy our class and always wish we had more time to do more activities.

For this weekend focus on gathering your resources.  You do not have to know at this point whether you will use them or not.  This is a first run at trying to get enough background material to be able to write an excellent research paper.  I do not want you to stress if you cannot find 10 resources by Monday.  We didn't get to do the research workshop until Thursday because of the snow day on Monday which set us back.  

I am simply trying to keep you on track so you don't get overwhelmed in writing the paper.  

Make a good faith effort on the maps but don't worry if you don't get all the countries.  The key countries are the original (1949) members of NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization) which was set up to block the USSR from conquering the rest of Europe.  Then try to get the Warsaw Pact members who joined the USSR in 1955 as communist allies.

On the Europe-Asia map try to locate the USSR, China, Korea, and Vietnam.  Anything else is a bonus!

Have a great weekend enjoying this beautiful spring weather!  I will share my NY adventures on Monday!  Mr. B

10 References

Ok, I know we have to have 2 articles for our 10 references. I found a website with 6 articles from the newspaper back then. Do all of those count?? Like if I use info from each does that count? I know I'd still have to have the 2 books, 1 Internet sit , and 1 Primary Source. Please answer as soon as possible. And also Mr. B have you found the good search engines yet? Cause I don't know of any. THANKS A BUNCH!!

Mr. B

PS  We will talk about note cards on Thursday Hannah.  They are a great way to organize the key quotes and info you want to use in your research paper.

Pregunta!

Ok guys, question.... I was looking at the due dates for our research paper and I noticed one of them says 25-35 Notecard Topic. What does that mean?? We need to have a bunch of info on notecards??? I'm confused, help plz!

Internet Research Seminar Thursday

Hope you all have enjoyed the day off and an extra hour to sleep in tomorrow!  Since we have so little time tomorrow and Wed we will have the internet research seminar Thursday or Friday depending on whether we have a visit from Mr. Song Sr. to share his story of surviving the Korean War as an orphan in the woods.

Please bring your topics tomorrow as you need to get started on collecting resources and compiling note cards.

I checked with the Spy Museum and due to availability we well be going the Friday we come back from Spring Break.  You are all set to save the US from nuclear disaster!

See you tomorrow!   Mr. B
