  • Use Encarta online encyclopedia to find the answers. Read the articles, look at photos, and hear some of the people featured speak in their own words.
  • Record your answers on paper (or you can keep two screens up while you are working).
  • Then submit your answers to the Search online.
  • Print out your results and hand them in. You do not need to hand in your paper answer sheet. Your teacher will tell you the due date.
