Resources
Research isn't so daunting when you have the right resources to get you the information you need. Here are a few recommended sources by Mrs. Sheridan:Holocaust research info for Mrs. Munnier and Mrs. Craven's 8th grade classes.
NEW for 2021: Infobase's Issues & Controversies. Do you need to see both sides of an argument for LA class? For example, do you need to argue why we shouldn't get school uniforms, or why we should be allowed to have cell phones at school? Then Issues and Controversies is the database for you. It will list what the "supporters" and "opponents" think about the topic. If you use it at school, you do not need a password. If you're using at home, you will need a username and password. Please email or ask Mrs. Sheridan for that info.
Points of View Reference Center. This is another database to use with argumentive writing. This is paid for through Indiana's Inspire, so you will either need to use it at school, or have your parents/guardians set up an account for you at home.Explora for Middle School
. This great database provides eBooks, full-text articles, and more specifically for middle school students. it includes thousands of biographies and primary source documents. Topics include: arts and literature, biography, business and government, current issues, geography, health, history, and science and math. This is paid for through the state of Indiana, and is part of the Inspire database they provide Indiana residents. Because of this, you either need to use Explora at school or register with Inspire at home. It is free for all Indiana residents, but you do have to register first. Ask for your parents/guardian's help. Or, another option would be to do all of your searching while at school, and save the articles/eBooks that you think might be helpful to your Google Drive. Then, you can access them while at home, from your Drive. Watch Mrs. Sheridan's overview of how to use Explora here.

Fact Monster is a great research tool, especially when doing a research project on countries or states. Or, you can find timelines, dictionaries, games and quizzes, a homework help center, and even a companion guide to Harry Potter. Hint: if you're doing a countries or state report, use the search results from the Kids' Almanac.
Biography Reference Center. Browse biographies or search for them by name. You will need to be at school on our school network in order to not need a username and password for this one, so I'd suggest looking while at school and saving the articles you plan to use at home.

Inspire is Indiana's free database for Indiana residents. The majority of the resources will actually count as a print (book or magazine) resource because they are originally printed and just added to the Internet for ease of use.
