Objectives:
1. Students will be able to successfully research subjects using digitalized databases.
2. Students will be able to use primary sources found during research to create and present projects.
Do Now: review NHD topics as well as missing assignments. Expectations for next class and NHD preparations.
Classwork:
1. Teacher presentation on easybib.com
2. Primary source search for your topic.
Useful tips for researching:
a. The use of quotes ensures that the words will always be used in that order.
b. The use of an * will allow for multiple searches. For example, a search for histor* would include: history, historians, and historical.
c. Sort by relevance rather than date added.
d. Do multiple word searches. For example, during a search for prisons one could also use the words incarcerated and penitentiary system.

a. The National Archives: www.nara.gov
