Period 1 – CHV2O
Ms. Berdichevsky’s class is coming in to work on their Case Study Assignment.
Researching an individual is much different than researching a theme or a topic. We’d suggest using the following resources.
The Canadian Encyclopedia – This thorough collection of resources covers most Canadian options, but also looks at the local impact of several globally renowned individuals. It also provides links and a bibliography for easy access.
Biographi.ca – This sources provides biographies on Canadians of note. Definitely a prime source of information.
In some cases, using Google might be a good bet. Ask yourself the following questions though…
- Who created the information you’re using? Are they a trustworthy source? Why or why not?
- When was the information created? Is it out of date or premature maybe?
- Is there any implicit (or explicit) bias that you should take into account?
Finding the official website for Black Lives Matter, for example, will be a great place to get information about the movement, but for a balanced approach you should also use newspaper media and other analysis from reputable sources.
