- For each event you are going to find three sources that explain what that event is all about.
- One source must be an online encyclopedia (other than Wikipedia).
- One should be a magazine or something similar located by using Ebscohost.
- One source should be a different website.
- Using proper formatting, you'll create a bibliography of your fifteen sources.
- You will also write very brief summaries of each event (3 to 5 sentences) to show you've figured out what they are.
