Student will be required to supply a works cited/bibliography/source list as part of their final presentation. Ā There are various resources they can use to help keep them organized during their investigation (easybib.com, zotero.org, diigo.com, etc)
Even though we will be providing many resources and materials for our students, they may need more. Ā Students will be expected to ask for these materials in a timely fashion (i.e. more than 24 hours before it's needed so that we have time to acquire them). Ā Students may also use other technology and online resources but they must be reputable and, in some cases, approved by the teacher and/or administration.
