Search engine lab
Use a search engine (e.g Google, Yahoo, etc) to locate material on the following topics.
Make a list in Word of at least one relevant URL per
topic. You'll want to use Copy and Paste since
URL's can be tedious to type. Choose one of the topics
and answer the question or summarize some of the material you
find. Email the Word document. (Sometimes you can just guess the
web site address without using the search engine.)
