We recommend that you search for information in these sources. I have listed them roughly by reliability.
1. Books - use the library catalog to find books on your topic. Sometimes, there won't be a book about your topic, but rather it will be included in one. Use the table of contents and the index.
2. Britannica Online - this link will take you to the middle school level. First gather information from this level, then AFTER YOU HAVE NOTES, read the next level. Citations are provided by clicking the checkmark icon.
3. EBSCO database - This is a database of magazines for young people. Use the left side bar to filter your searches. Citations are provided on the right sidebar.
4. History.com - This is a companion website to the History Channel. Use the search field to enter your keywords. A full citation is not provided, but the bibliographic information is included at the bottom of each article.
5. Khan Academy - This link should take you to a list of pages on Ancient Greece. Citations are not provided. Use the MyBib autocite feature to create the citation and be sure to check that it is correct.
6. Ducksters - Online encyclopedia. It is a for-profit website, so there will be ads and the information may not be accurate. Always double check. Citation is given at the very bottom of the page.
7. National Geographic - This site is more credible than Ducksters or Factmonster but it is also for adults and not students. The information may be more complex. Does not provide citations.
8. Ancient History Lists - This link will take you to top ten lists of Greek contributions to different areas. No citation is given for any of the articles. It is the work of a young Nepalese man with no editorial board that I can see, so you should try to double check the information given.
9. Webpath Express - this is the search engine for our library catalog. Find the link for Webpath Express on the left sidebar of the catalog page. You can filter the results with the drop down menus at the top of the results.
10. Wikipedia - this is a community-edited site and you should always double check the information for accuracy. Citation information is given under the Tools menu on the left sidebar. A very good place to look for more information is in the references at the bottom. However, the audience for Wikipedia is adults, not 6th graders, so much of the information may be too hard.
