Period 2-ENG2D7

Welcome to the library, Ms. McMulkin’s class!

Today you’re here to do some research connected to your novel.

Two great databases are Global Issues in Context and Canadian Encyclopedia, both found in the Virtual Library. They are password-protected when you’re at home so make sure you know where to find them in the Virtual Library. (Hint: look for the Orange Passwords Icon)

An external source that provides a good, neutral overview of countries and their history, political situations, etc is the CIA World Factbook.

As a reminder, it’s a good idea to keep track of your information and the sites you use so that you are easily able to format your Works Cited page in MLA.

Curated Resources for Classes in the Library Today

Welcome to the Library!

Period One- ENG2D7 

Mr. Welsh’s Grade 10 Pre-IB English class will be coming to the Library to continue their research for their debate.

Information from yesterday’s Library session can be found HERE.

Periods Two & Three- ENG1D

Mr. Welsh’s Grade 9 Academic English class is coming in to work on their Real Heroes Assignment. To find information about your heroes, we suggest you use the following resources.

  1. The Library Catalogue allows you remote access to our print, digital and streaming resources from anywhere at any time. To access this resource, you’ll simply need your TDSB log-in information. Using this catalogue, you’ll be able to find the Biography for your Heroic Person.
  2. The Canadian Encyclopedia is an excellent source of information for Canadian individuals (or for those with ties to Canada).
  3. JSTOR provides students with a powerful and easy-to-use database for academic pursuit.
  4. The Toronto Star Historic Database, which can be found on the Toronto Public Library’s Website, allows readers to access articles from the newspaper’s archives.

Also, we need to talk a bit about Death by Powerpoint. Also, there is Death by GoogleSlide and Death by Prezi.

 

Mr. Kosowan and Ms. Vilicic will show examples of bad presentations.
Some of which will be shared here.

Death by Prezi
