Allusions+Project

Allusions Project




 * Objective: Students will conduct research on an assigned biblical or mythological tale that is frequently alluded to in literature. Students will then present their findings to the class through either a Prezi, Google Slides, or other source. At the end of the slideshow or the Prezi, students must display a correctly formatted citation for each of the sources used. **

How is a library database different from a website?

 * ~ Library databases ||~ Websites ||
 * Library databases get their information from professionals or experts in the field. || Web sites can be written by anyone regardless of expertise. ||
 * Library databases contain published works where facts are checked. || Website content is not necessarily checked by an expert. ||
 * Library databases are easy to cite in a bibliography and may create the citation for you. || Web sites often don’t provide the information necessary to create a complete citation. ||
 * Library databases can help you narrow your topic or suggest related subjects. || Web sites often aren’t organized to support student research needs. ||
 * Library databases are updated frequently and include the date of publication. || Web sites may not indicate when a page is updated. ||
