I will provide some resources for you. To gain additional information, use the
internet or other methods of reliable research (such as encyclopedias or books
from the library) to provide examples of information, facts and photos on the
topic of your choice.
Using a Google search, you can also type in what you are looking for. For
example: “food of ancient Egypt”, “tools used in ancient Egypt”, “jobs of
ancient Egypt”, etc. Doing this, will help you find more specific information
on your topic. Websites that end in .edu, .org, or .gov are typically more
reliable sources of information.
You must write down the source of your information. Write the website title,
located at the top of the webpage or write down the book title and author. You
will turn in a list of your sources with the final project.
