Are you interested in taking action on a specific issue in the news? It's important to understand the issue, it's background and points of view surrounding it before determining your position and action plan. Ms. Cabarcas and Ms. Thorsen have developed a list of databases and reliable news sites to assist you with this challenging task. If you would like to use the databases outside of school, you can! You will need an internet connection and the passwords (you can get the passwords by stopping by the library or emailing ahslibrary@k12albemarle.org).

Databases

Use the following two databases to find background information and PRO/ CON information on your topic.

News Sites

Please remember that you will find articles written in a balanced way AND articles written with bias. Please use the skills you learned earlier this year as you work your way through these news sources.
