WANTED Glogsters: How do I find and use reliable resources to make an infomative presentation?

Today we will be using our knowledge of primary and secondary resources and the internet resources we found yesterday to make a WANTED Poster of an Outlaw of the American West.

Task ONE

REMEMBER WHAT WE DID YESTERDAY? WHAT IS ONE EXAMPLE OF A PRIMARY SOURCE? WHAT IS ONE EXAMPLE OF A SECONDARY SOURCE?

Task TWO

Everyone should have completed their homework for last night by selecting an Outlaw from the Wikipedia list of American Outlaws to complete their WANTED Poster on. If you did not select an Outlaw, return to the Wikipedia page and select one. Make sure that you selected an outlaw that there will be information on. A good gauge of this is how much information is on their Wikipedia page.

Task THREE

Yesterday we created a list of great reliable resources. Some of them were primary and some of them were secondary. I have compiled them here into a "Delicious Stack." Delicious is an online bookmarking service. We will use this often to share internet resources.

For this task, you will need to select three reliable sources in order to complete the Research Guide in Task FOUR and then to make your WANTED Glogster.

Complete the following form one time for each of your sources. Do not forget to hit SUBMIT to save your work! The SUBMIT button is at the bottom of the form window.

Task FOUR

Task FIVE
Now that you have everything you need to make your Glogster, go for it!!!! Go to http://www.glogster.com/ and click "Create a Glog." You need to include all of the information from your Research Guide on your Glog to receive full credit.

When you are finished with you Glog, make sure to save it by clicking on "Save or Publish" at the top of the page. Make the name of your Glog "WANTED: YOUR NAME." For example, I would save mine as "WANTED: Ms.Roth." Then click save. The screen will ask you to login or register. Click "Login" and use the registration written on the board.
