Things to Include |
|||
PLAN Save this document in your user area. Print it off and use it to help you plan the content for your brochure. Write on it where you are going to get the information (Encarta or a website - give the address). For some items make a note of what the information is.
|
|||
|
|||
Sources of Information |
|||
PLAN Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. Anyone can add content which some people think makes it unreliable but it also means that anyone can challenge the content if it is wrong which usually makes it more accurate and up-to-date. The images are usually good quality - click on them to view the largest possible size before saving them. |
 |
||
| CIA; The World Factbook of the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is a useful website for finding out facts and figures about your chosen countries. It is updated regularly and as it is a Government agency it should be factually accurate. However, be aware that it will be politically biased to reflect the opinions of the United States Government. |  |
||
| Search Engine; If you want to look for information on the internet generally, avoid using Google images. It's very hard to get decent quality images showing what you want. Use a standard Google.co.uk websearch and look carefully at the sites offered. Look at this example below. | |||
