As I was doing my research or while am doing my research there is one website I would not use as much as About. com and that’s the Wikipedia website.
Wikipedia isn’t a bad website, but you do have to be very careful because some of the information on Wikipedia is false published information. Wikipedia could kind of add information or take out some of the truth in Wikipedia and replace it with some other false information that really doesn’t have anything to do with the topic, but they would make it seem like it do. Also with Wikipedia someone, anyone could go on the website and make their own page on Wikipedia and would have all type of false evidence on it. So when using Wikipedia you should also use different websites or books to see if the information is the same or kind of the same.
The website I would probably use a lot is About.com. The reason I would use this website is because it has an author of who published the website on to About.com. About.com also shows the up to date news that goes on in Congo or any other Countries. About.com is a good website it shows the real of wha
t’s going on and how it all started. About.com is the number one website I would be using. But I would also make sure that their evidence isn’t false to I will also use more than one website or books to make sure all information matches up.
As for the books the number one book I would use would be the Encyclopedia. Why? Because it to don’t have false information. The Encyclopedia tells the pros and cons of any place or object. Encyclopedia also has an author of who published the information so you could know that it isn’t false information.

Careful - about.com is an encylopedia-type of website. Encyclopedias are a worthwhile place to start, especially when you know very little about your topic, but then it is necessary to conduct REAL, scholarly research beyond the general information provided in an encyclopedia.
ReplyDeleteWhat about King Leopold's Ghost, about the colonization of the Congo? Did you find it a useful source? (And do you still have the book? Could you please return it before spring break?)
