Research
If you are planning on a research project, please let me know. I would be happy to help find resources for you, create a citation guideline packet and collaborate with you on a finished project. When your students look for information, please guide them to the databases or infotopia.com. Students will find more reliable information and you won't have to read information from Wikipedia.
