Web Search Page for Research on the
Night
Report of Information Paper
**Please read this entire page before you begin your Web search!**
Your assignment is to write a report of information on a topic related to propaganda, the manipulation of minds, or discrimination against groups of people. After you have cleared your report topic with your teacher, you may use the links on this Web page to help locate sources for your paper (you should also have books, magazine or newspaper articles, as well as other sources).
-->>For each of your sources be sure to refer to the handouts your teacher has given you so you remember to write down the necessary information you will need to document your sources in your paper.<<--
Below is a
list of links to places on the World Wide Web that have information on
the approved topics. Just click on the name of the place you want to research
to go there. There are many other links to other places with useful information
at each Web page listed here, so feel free to explore until you find what
you need. You can always make your way back to this page by clicking on
the "Back" button near the top of your screen .
Some Magazine Articles
Notice the name of the magazine, date of the issue, and author for your Works Cited page;
you need to write them down on your notecards!
Searching the Web
Below are links (where it says "start your search" or "Metacrawler") to Web pages that have search engines for looking up topics on the World Wide Web. Follow the instructions on the pages to locate other Web pages with references to your research topic (try typing "propaganda" or the name of the person or country you are researching in the search topic boxes).
-->>For each page you find information you will include in your report, copy the URL, the title of the page, and the author (if given) so you can properly document them as a source in your research paper.<<--
A URL (Universal Resource Locator) is the address of a page, and it will probably have something like "http://" and some letters and periods after that. For example, the URL for this page is "http://chs.cusd.claremont.edu/~corchard/report/night.html". Locate where this URL is displayed on the computer screen now so you will know where to look for the URL's of the pages you search.
The title
of a page is usually located towards the top of the computer screen. The
title of this page is "CHS Night Report of Information Page". Locate where
this title is displayed on the computer screen now so you will know where
to look for the titles of the pages you search for your report.
The author is often a bit trickier to find, and may not even be provided. Often you will find the author's name either at the top or bottom of the Web page or the article. If you can find the author's name, be sure to write it down in your notes- you will need it for your Works Cited page.
If you find a particularly helpful Web page on your topic, I would like to add a link to it on this page to help other students with their reports. Send me the URL's via e-mail to Mr. Orchard (corchard@chs.cusd.claremont.edu) (or just write them down on a piece of paper and give it to your teacher).
Don't forget to include your name at the end of your message so I'll
know who sent it!
