When you know enough about your topic to be able to properly evaluate information from the web, use a good search engine, like Google, to find web pages about your topic. When you're all done, use NoodleTools to help you create your Works Cited page and consider using PowerPoint for your presentation. Just click on the links below and follow the instructions. Ask Mrs. Baker if you have trouble or questions that need answering. You can also use these databases from home, but you'll need to know the special passwords. Make sure to get a 'Home Use Info' sheet from Mrs. Baker if you plan to continue your research at home.
