Example: Argentina and "healthcare system"
If you use Google as your search engine, once you've run your search, try a subset of results by clicking on News, Images, or Videos.
Click Tools to sort results by relevance or date, or to do an advanced search (similar to searching a database).
You can also search a specific domain.
Example: Argentina site:.gov
While searching a specific domain can be helpful, remember that the domain does not determine the credibility of the information. It only tells you what kind of website it is.
Evaluate all sources carefully for credibility and usefulness. Refer to the Evaluate Sources tab for basic criteria to help you identify credible sources.
As with any research project, the first step is to identify the kind of information you need. Knowing what kind of information you need will help you plan your research and look for relevant sources.
For your culture project, you'll be assigned a Spanish-speaking country and then you'll choose a topic to research related to that country. You are required to use at least three reliable sources, and one of those sources must be in Spanish.
Gathering background information about your country is an important first step. This will help you understand the key facts and main issues related to your assigned country.
