A Big Project

Working in the school library to find
research sources.
 You may think that the last six weeks of school will be easy.

You would be wrong!

In our class we have three big projects! We have to prepare our final presentation. We have to read a non-fiction book. We also have to write a 5 to 8 page research paper!

Searching in the "stacks"
On Wednesday, we did library research for our paper. Itancan is researching the history of computer gaming. Elijah is researching the history of crypto-currency. 


We put our sources on index cards that have a color on them. We put our notes on white index cards. We put the number of the source on it too. When we get to writing, we will be able to do citations.
Yay! Found some sources!

Elijah's topic has no books. So, he started to look at the articles on the state library website. He will have to find some good sources on the internet.

Itancan's topic had a few books in our library, so he checked out two to use in the classroom as he takes notes.

Tre's topic is the evolution of dinosaurs into birds. Michael's is the warrior society called Dog Soldiers. Elijah's paper will be about Monero, a type of cryptocurrency. Itancan will write a research paper about computer games.
