Many of you have asked questions about doing your research online and how to cite your sources. Several have also expressed concerns about how to "paraphrase" the material that you do find so that you can use it in your paper.

Obviously you will need to reference any direct factual information that you do use but Mrs. Beck has provided the following two documents to help you with your online research and also for paraphrasing the material that you want to use for your paper.

You can access these files by clicking on their titles below. They are both formatted in Microsoft Word so you will need that software on your computer to view these files. I will also have paper copies of these available in class if you need them. Just let me know ....

How to Cite Your Sources

Here is a search software application that will take you to some information about your bird. All you need to do is type the name of your bird into the search box and click on the "Search" button.
