Day #2 Assignment

Student Objective: Students will learn how to access a database, search for sources and import citations. 

NoodleTools Set Up: 

• You will need to go to NoodleTools.com and click on NEW PROJECT. It might be easiest to call it History Fair for now. 
• Once your project is set up - create a NEW NOTECARD. Remember that you want a note card for every source that you use. It will save you tons of headaches later. 

Accessing Databases: 

1. Google Morton East Library
2. Click on Library Resources
3. Click on Gale in Context High School (If you are at home, you may need a password: Mustangs1!)
4. Enter a search term related to your History Fair Project. (You might have to try various terms before you get lots of articles!) 
5. Read the titles and select an article/excerpt that works for your project. Open it and skim the content. 
6. If the article is a good fit - click on NoodleTools on the bottom so the citation is saved. 
7. Now create a notecard for this resource. Unlike our practice yesterday - these entries should be more detailed and contain more information. For example, your summary should be at least three sentences long.
