Part 1: Research

Gale eBooks - BVSW This link opens in a new window
Nonfiction eBooks purchased by BVSW and available for student use. These often replace the books on the shelves that you may want/need for research. This used to be called GVRL.

You should not need to use another source for your research besides the database listed above. However, in the off-chance that you need to use a website, you must get the OK from a librarian or your teacher. Also, you MUST create a source citation in NoodleTools for the website.

Part 2: Instagram Stories

Use Canva or WeVideo to create your Instagram Stories.
