How These Resources Can Help You

Most of these resources link to reference sources of some sort. 

Reference Sources summarize a topic. They tell you basic things, like when and where an event happened, a simple or introductory description of an idea or theory, or the most important points about a person's life.

For this project, you might use reference sources to learn more about the population described in your chapter. A specialized encyclopedia, such as one that focuses on cultural or ethnic groups in the United States, could give you another perspective and new information about your topic.

Reference sources do not offer interpretation, argument, or advocate controversial ideas. If there is debate or disagreement among experts on a topic, a reference source might mention or describe the debate, but will not take sides. They only summarize what is commonly known and understood about a source.

Use reference sources as a starting point, a way to learn more about the fundamental ideas and facts that make more detailed and deep understanding of your topic possible.
