 * F ind a picture that represents each of the events you have chosen and explain how the picture links the event and theme together **

**2. Part Two - Assignment**
 * **find two** recent **news articles that relate to** the theme **that you selected in Part One (please use articles with a Canadian focus).**


 * **in a developed paragraph** __explain, in your own words, how the articles relate to the theme and how these articles link to the past events that you discussed in Part One __ **. (2 articles and 2 paragraphs)**


 * Be as specific as possible in your search. Often the articles will give an indication of why they are writing about your topic. Look at the titles of the articles – this will give you a hint as to how much of a connection there may be. The writer may tell you directly how your topic/event in history links to their article.**

__ **Consider the following:** __


 * **How your event influenced future decisions, policies, or social thinking in Canada**
 * **How your technological / scientific advancement impacted further research and societal lifestyle**
 * **Are the decisions or actions similar or completely different to what occurred in the past?**
 * **Has enough progress been made since your event or have we regressed?**
 * **Is history cyclical?**

 * Steps for using Infotrac** __

[|**http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/ko_k12hs_d47**]

__ Gale’s //Infotrac// Databases __


 * Gale’s //Infotrac// databases are linked to the library’s on-line resources page ( **[|**http://bihi.swil.ocdsb.ca/~library/**] **>** On-line Resources **).** **Enter “** trillium **” as your password. These instructions refer specifically to //Infotrac// Power Search but similar principles apply to many other databases.**


 * This example illustrates a search on Olympics. **

**1) Search the “** Entire document **” rather than subject or keyword if you want to maximize the quantity of your results.**


 * 2) Limit your results “** to documents with full text **” so you can actually access the article.**


 * 3) Limit the** publication date **to ensure that the results meet the criteria for your assignment.**


 * 4) Use advanced search options to narrow your search and eliminate irrelevant results using “** not **”.** **Remember to** search the entire document **to maximize the number of results.**


 * 5) Make a conscious choice of the search type. Search “** Entire Document **” to catch all references to your search terms.** **Choose “** Keyword **” or “** Subject **” to narrow your search to articles with more direct relevance. Try a variety of combinations of keywords.**


 * 6) Check the tabs above your result list. Note that there are very few results for “Books” in this list but a huge number of results if the “News” tab was clicked. By narrowing your search to “Peer Reviewed” you will only search academic journals. **


 * 7) Scan the results list for articles with title that sound appropriate. If you find many irrelevant results consider re-doing the search and excluding (using “not”) a term that is common to many of the irrelevant results. Note that the citation indicates the source of the article and its length. Save time; an article can be skipped if it is too short or too long or comes from a publication from outside your field of interest.**


 * 8) Consider creating a “** Search Alert **” to notify you when new results for a good search become available.**
