Your resources should be from trusted sources like National Geographic, NY Times, Washington Post, Scholastic, etc. You want your web pages to contain scientific data and statistics.

Once you have 4 - 6 resources you will use the "Gathering Info" graphic organizer to record important information for your research essay and project. Read through each web page & use one graphic organizer for each. Be sure to record all the important information from your article onto the graphic organizer, including:

- Title of the article

- Name of the resource, or Web page
