You must also use a website in your research. Choose your website carefully. Evaluate who created it, when it was updated and watch for bias.
Websites that end in .org, .edu, or .gov are the best ones to use.
The United Nations and Unicef have great information on them.
Choose your website carefully!!!
Here are some websites you may find useful.
