NON-FICTION PROJECT 2020: ONLINE RESOURCES FOR DISTANCE LEARNING

Please use the articles and websites below to guide your research. All work is to be completed as per the google doc assignments shared with you.

Part of learning about topics is to decide if you want to use your new knowledge to teach or help others. There are also websites that will help you decide how you would want to use your new knowledge to give back to the community around you (hint: Autism Speaks, Hi-Tor Animal Shelter, etc.) Please don’t limit yourselves to these, the possibilities for making an impact on the community and ourselves are endless!

PART 1: CHOOSING A NARROW TOPIC AND ARTICLES

Here are some articles to get you going. These are tied to the choices on your Non-Fiction Google Doc….you may choose other articles to read and take notes on, but these are examples of credible articles, about focused topics!
