Online Databases- You will need passwords to access these from home.

ABC Clio You will search all databases at once, but will probably find the most useful information in American History or American Government, depending on your topic.
AP Images This database contains Associated Press photographs for you to use.  It looks much more authoritative to use this than Google Images for this assignment.
Lit Finder You may want to use this to help you locate your poem or information about your poet
SIRS Decades You can search by topic, source type (advertisement, cartoon, photograph, speech, published article, etc.), or decade.  EXCELLENT source.
