Research Task

Welcome to the computer lab! Today we will work on researching our topics for our community studies. Before we begin, though, we are going to practice evaluating websites.

First, use google to find some websites about your topic. Use the sheet in front of you to evaluate two websites on your topic. When you are done, give your worksheet to Ms. Aaland and begin researching! Below I have included some links to help you get started.
