Online Resources
Brittanica Online
A great FREE online encyclopedia resource.
BBC World News
The most reliable news source in the world lives in the UK. Go to the BBC News website for the most up-to-date info on topics in world news, science, technology, and the arts.
BBC Newsround
The BBC Newsround is also a reliable website, but it is written for kids. The reading level is a bit lower, and the subjects can also include school topics, like homework help and how to prepare for standardized tests.
Google Scholar
Here you can search for scholarly articles on pretty much any subject. HOWEVER, since the articles are scholarly they are usually of a very high reading level. Be careful with which article you choose, and please make sure you can understand its content before citing it.
Champaign Public Library TeenSpace
This site has a lot of trustworthy research tools you can utilize for your research. I highly recommend the site and its resources.
