Now that you've got your topic, this week I want you find some background information for your final project. The easiest place to do this is online: using a search engine to find and select only the best, most relevant and authoritative websites OR using Haystac, the library catalog, to search for books. So, here we go:
1. Find two sources (websites or books) that will give you some background information on your issue. Keep the sources nearby, as you will be citing them in Thing #11.
2. Identify one Congressperson (House or Senate) who has a particular interest in your issue. Their interest will probably arise from the unique needs of the constituency they represent and from their involvement on one of Congress' many committees. Suggested source: CQ Weekly (available on the A-Z List of Databases).
Post the URLs for all sources to your blog. If you use books, post the title and author.
