Research research research

Okay, so you have a three day weekend. This means you have a great opportunity to become an expert on your topic before you write your paper.
Here is what I wan you to do:

1) find a computer- yours, your friend's, your neighbor or relative, a library. Ask someone you know that has a computer if you can use it for a couple hours.

2) research each of your main ideas you got from your thesis. Start with main point #1 and thoroughly research it!

3) record your information on page 11. Be sure to write the website address down in case you need to revisit the site this week.

4) if you are having difficulty finding information- comment on this post with your question and ill be sure to get back to you this weekend.

Happy Researching!
