Part 1:
Use our key terms from activity 1 to do a search for peer reviewed articles or books in one of the following databases:
Peer reviewed articles and book reviews of American and Canadian history, prehistory to present and searchable by historical time period.
Scholarly journal articles and magazine articles in the fields of communications, mass media, journalism, television, film, radio, newspaper publishing, speech, broadcasting, and advertising.
Part 2:
Browse the Oxford Bibliographies entry we used earlier and choose one secondary source listed there to add to the jamboard as a potential source for a paper on Western mass media about China.
In pairs, browse the primary sources tab of this guide and find one potential primary source for western media and China.
Think about searching by source type (example: China AND "travel brochure"), topic (example: Mao AND "Great Leap Forward"), or browse the sources using the website's filters. Some let you browse by time period or region!
Write down one source you found on the jamboard!
Another way to find translated primary sources in books is to use the catalog to search for your topic AND (documents OR sources)
EXAMPLE:
China AND "western media" AND (documents OR sources)
