Finding Reliable Sources
Library Databases: Use our school databases like Gale, JSTOR, Sora, and Britannica. They have sources your teachers will actually accept.
Check the Source: Is it recent? Who wrote it? Is it from a reliable site? Use the CRAAP test (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, Purpose) or the SIFT method (Stop, Investigate, Find, Trace).
Primary vs. Secondary Sources: Primary = original materials (letters, photos, interviews). Secondary = analysis of those materials (articles, biographies).
