World History--Final Project

USEFUL POTENTIAL RESOURCES

You MAY use your textbook to get started, but remember it does not count as a source for the project

WEBSITES

http://www.infoplease.com/yearbyyear.html A good general year by year, and decade by decade review of World History, with links to explore more.  A great place to start researching!

http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/History_n2/a.html A website which has a great record of important events, people, religions, scientists, etc. from all of world history.  The “Events” “History” and “Book Text” links are very useful.  Another great place to begin your research

http://schools.bcsd.com/garza/library/links2/decsg.htm A collection of websites broken down by decade.  Has many sources on both American and World history in each decade.

www.conflicthistory.com A great history of conflicts across the world at any point in World History.  Use this to find out about wars and conflicts happening the in the world during your decades.

School Database Access

http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/wauk33353?db=SUIC –SMdP Student Databases. A GREAT site filled with many research databases.  For home access use the password: wauk_rpa

Print Sources

Though not required, books that are in print are often scholarly sources (remember you need 1 of these), and they often provide much more specific, detailed information than websites

http://www.waukeganpl.org/ --Website of the Waukegan Public Library (a great place to look for print resources)

***Also DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.  Locating and using websites and print sources for research is a VITAL and ESSENTIAL skill for college.  Use this as an opportunity to practice!***
