Famous Dancer Research project

You will use school & state databases to find trustworthy information about your dancer or company. You will practice effective research methods to search the web and cite your sources.
You will read and synthesize information in order to be a knowledgeable source.
You will create a one-pager that reflects your knowledge based on your research that is organized and visually appealing for your audience.

Tips for your research:

Add "dance" to your search of your person to stay focused on that aspect of their life, especially if they were known for more than dance.
You will browse the results, evaluate the source before deciding to read the whole thing (reference and magazine sources are helpful)
- Look at the title, look at where it was published
- Use "Ctrl - F" to search long articles or pages for key words that align with your task
If that person or their dance company has a website, check the "about" page
Dance Magazine is a great source, and digital copies of articles are in GALE
Google Gemini is NOT A SOURCE, but it can be a helpful tool
Google Docs "Citations" tool can help with non-database sources
