Let's translate our key terms to searches. After watching Sarah, try some of our key terms in one of these databases:
Peer reviewed articles and book reviews of world history (excluding the US and Canada), 1450 CE to present and searchable by historical time period.
Peer reviewed articles and book reviews of American and Canadian history, prehistory to present and searchable by historical time period.
Comprehensive collection of international journals, conference proceedings, and other scholarly literature, with a primary focus on STEM and social sciences. Article references are included in the record. Search by author, affiliation, topic and more, and search to see who cited a particular article.
Primary sources are evidence. They are a good place to start research and you'll find yourself returning to browse them as you learn more about your plant. Particularly with you using StoryMaps, they're good illustrations for your argument.
We're going to look at some examples of primary sources available to you via subscription databases through Wellesley and free online here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGS5xrO1iE/nEpNzQdg7LukJhOehpoFkA/edit?utm_content=DAGS5xrO1iE&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton
