Sources for the Presentations on The Namesake.
Please note that these sources are a starting place. Feel free to use other books, but don’t
get all your information from Google or Wikipedia! Also, search for photographs and
other kinds of graphics that you can put into your PowerPoint presentations.
One place that you can all look for photographs is in a database called ‘AP Images.’ Just
go to the main library web page; click on Research Databases: A-Z; click on AP Images;
you can search from there!! Please note that this can be a very “picky” database, so it
might feel unfriendly to work with. However, the results are usually worth it!
