Hi Kids!

I want you to walk out of the computer lab today with AT LEAST FIVE ideas for further research. Take notes and MAKE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN! If you find something that you want to use today, you must CITE your source. If you don't cite it, you can't use it.

Remember: you are researching TWO events or people from your time period: one literary and one "other."

Links to Get You Started:

 A Gateway! Timelines Galore at AlternaTime

 American Writers: C-SPAN in the Classroom

 Fact Monster: another collection of Timelines

 Follow the Links at Lit Links

 A History of British and American Literature

 A Brief Timeline of American Literature and other Events

 American Literature Through Time

 American Memory from The Library of Congress

 The Historical Text Archive

 That Wacky Millenium!

 

Also: try Googling your dates: for example, type in "1820-1849" to see what you come up with.
