  1. Well, I would like to use the internet, interviews, magazines, and actually physically interacting with my topic. I would LIKE to use Google, Ask.com, Wikipedia.com, and WikiAnswers.com as my internet resource. Horse and Rider, Dover Saddlery, Chick Saddlery, Ultimate Rider, and Horse Illustrated for my magazine research. I can ride my favorite horse Shuffle for my research about Morgan Horses because he IS a Morgan Horse. I can interview my riding instructor about Morgan Horses conformations, Jumping, Sizes, Feed, and so on.

  2. My subject is elmo and he is on a kids show and in some books. I think that some good sources are Bing, google, books and seseame street books could help me find information on elmo. Also i could watch his show ( cause it rocks your socks) or read a biography on the guy who invented elmo.

  6. I think that probably the first recourse will be the internet because on the internet you can use www.google.com, www.yahoo.com, www.answer.com, www.askjeeves.com, those are all very good recourses. Another very good recourse to use is a encyclopedia there are book encyclopedia, website encyclopedia’s and magazine. And the last very good recourses is a book there are all different kinds of books that you can use.
