Research, Research, Research

Today and tomorrow classes will be in the ARC completing assignment #3. Typed hard copies of the lists need to be turned in at the end of class in order for you to get credit.

Assignment #3:
Multimedia Resource List: A public service announcement is a brief statement to get people thinking about a problem. A resource list directs the audience where to find additional information and ways to make a difference. Your list must include each of the following (1 point for each source).
Ten Websites. The following websites are UNACCEPTABLE: anything with a url attached to wikipedia, ask.com, about.com, askjeeves.com etc. NOTE: if you type in “global warming” 80,800,000 results are available. Look through some of them: the best are not always the first results. Give the title of the website and the url.
EXAMPLE: Global Warming in NH: http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science/global-warming-in-new-hampshire.html

Three Videos / Documentaries. These videos should be full length films. A great place to look is the library catalogue through Gordon Nash Library (you know….the building across the street). Catalogue is online at: http://www.nhu-pac.library.state.nh.us/#focus . In the search box select “broad keyword.” To narrow your search, include the word “video.” For example you may search “HIV video.”

Five books. You can check the library catalogue or try www.amazon.com. Give the title and author of the book.

Contact information for a NH state representative (there are two to chose from). Include both the Washington, D.C. and Concord, NH office information.

One podcast. Include the URL, title of the podcast and name(s) of the people speaking.
