We're back from break, and today we're working on our projects in class. Since it is a really bad idea to procrastinate on a project this size, and the paper is due December 16, (two weeks from tomorrow), now is the time to get to work.
As you research your topic, here are a couple suggestions that are far more useful than the lazy Google search:
Facts on File: World News Digest This site is perfect for this project. Example: I typed "Amazon deforestation" in the search box and got 23 stories. "Mexican drug cartels": 48 stories. "US - Mexican immigration policy": 81 stories. You get the picture.
History Study Center Great place to find Historical documents. Example: Type "Panama Canal" in the search box and choose "Historical documents" in the second drop box, and you get 26 excellent primary source documents. Choose "Multimedia" in that dropbox, and you get some incredible old photographs.
CIA Factbook Choose a country, then click on "Transnational Issues" (near the bottom). Often a goldmine of information. Plus, there is never any dispute about this being a legitimate source of unbiased information.
I will post these under "Useful Links" on the right hand side of my blog. More to follow.
