The Good Thief & Historical Research

We left off on chapter 15 of the Good Thief. We will read more of the book today starting together, then in small groups during period 3. Please read through part two and complete up to page: 226.

DO NOT WRITE your historical story yet. We want you to research your time period and setting, get ideas for characters, conduct character sketches for potential protagonists, etc.

You will need to record the name of the website or article you are using, the author of the website or company, the year of the entry or publication, the website address, etc.

You may use Google Books to search for more information. Pictures or images as well from Google. Go to Google.com. On the heading, there are links to search for books (under more), images, videos, maps, news, and products.

Keep track of the websites and articles you are using so that you can cite these as research sources. You may use the citation machine to help you put together a works cited page.

Homework: Complete Part II of The Good Thief.
