Searching on databases

I went to the EBSCO database.
I searched George Washington but it wasn't useful.
I searched George Washington biography but nothing came up.
I searched George Washington Childhood and nothing relating to him came up.
I searched just George Washington with all document types selected but still nothing useful!

I searched George Washington battles. I have found something!
It showed the battles George Washington was in!

I have found another one with George Washington battles.
I showed like the actual talk and movement in the a battle.

2 books I may use for this project

Founding Father- Rediscovering George Washington by Richard Brookhiser

George Washington- Leader of a New Nation by Mary Pope Osborne

12/10/10 Daily Journal (Searching on Library world)

I think the purpose of today's lesson was to learn how to find articles/databases and other kinds of research information. Also to learn how to use library worlds couple links and also to learn how to do citation. We also learned how much research types we needed for this project. For example, two websites, two books, two articles/databases, one other, and one citation program.

I will be able to take away how to search in more detail and cite information. I will be able to show them how to use limited searching and where to look for them. Also how to find sites that have them. In citation, I can show them the things needed for citing. I would also be able to show them programs that do citation for you with you giving them information.

My question at the end of this result is, since we know the research requirements, are we going to start doing something now? I wonder whether we are going to learn more requirements or if that was it. If that was it, I wonder how and what we are going to do next.

I think to my knowledge that the next lesson might be doing some kind of project started. From what I overheard, we are going to get our rubric soon. With that, I assume that we are going to actually get started and that we are going to get more serious. I think our next lesson is the start of our beggining in this project.
