Research Guidelines

1) Search the websites and databases linked below for your to=pic or to find a topic that interests you. Combine keywords using the advanced search setting or use "AND" between terms, ie. gender AND disability or sexuality AND deaf culture.

2) When using a search engine to find additional sources, be critical of the sources you find. 

Use the ABCs of website evaluation to determine if the source is credible:

A = Authority   Who is the author or which organization created the website?

B = Bias    Is the website biased by its creator's purpose or mission? What can you tell about the purpose of the site based on the domain name (.com, .edu, .gov, .org)?

C = Current Content    Was the content created recently enough for your research needs?

3) Track your sources and take notes in NoodleTools. Use your RPCS email to log in. Share with the project inbox provided by your teachers.
