Try to start your research project with a question. Once you've got that you can explore where to go, but you'll need lots of sources to get a good idea of your issue and possible solutions. Shoot for:
- 2 articles
- 2 websites
- 2 newspaper articles
- 2 books/ebooks
- 1 video/podcast
Articles:
Opposing Viewpoints
GALILEO
Google Scholar
Books:
School Catalog
Google Books
This is just the beginning though, you'll need a lot more to really make some good conclusions.
