9th Grade Social Issues Research Paper- Ms. Weiss

Research Lesson

The following is a guide created to help you begin your research project on Social Issues. Using books sources, internet links and online databases you will select your topic and begin to compile the information needed to complete your tasks.

The Internet

There is alot of good information available on the internet. The problem with using the internet as a primary source for a school project is that not all the information on the web is accurate. Anyone can post anything on the internet. You might come across a really well written article on your topic and want to use it for your project only to find out it was written by a student in another state.

When using the internet look to see where the information is coming from.

For this project, an article posted by the CDC (Center for Disease Control) or another government agency would be perfectly suitable.

*** When using an internet source, if possible, print the pages out and make note of the date you accessed the site. Unlike books, internet sites can be altered and the information may not be there later on.

Databases

Databases are a safe and easy way to search and compile good information from good sources.

All information located in databases has been verified and reviewed by persons in the same field as the author. (Ex.: An article written by a Cryptozoologist would be reviewed by other Cryptozoologists and accepted before it can be posted. This is called PEER REVIEWING.)

The following databases are available through Long Beach High School.
