Resources-Where
can I find the information?

encyclopedia
·
Internet

individual
experts

library
Help everyone remember their group roles. Keep a good record of the sites you have located which contain useful information. Keep note cards with URLs and a brief description of the information. You may want to visit these again and much time can be spent relocating sites. Keep focused on the key questions and write down your answers completely and clearly. This information will be used when you construct your PowerPoint slides.
