I did a topic on Aztecs and how their culture was still present in today Mexico, and so I had to look at a ton of difference sites. Try to do usually .gov, or .edu, or .net or .org. But get a lot of different sources, because you can't use an exact number unless you have that number backed up by like five different sources.
Because lots of times, when it's something that old, they use is different numbers and different dates and stuff, so you have to make sure that your research really is the right research.
A couple years ago, I was in a humanities class which is basically there was history humanities and English humanities, but the teachers, they worked together basically. So what you learned in history also had to do with what you learned in English. So when our final came, we had to do our final that combined the history and English together.
So actually I had to research Romeo and Juliet, but you have to find all the historical stuff. What was actually going on at the time that it was written? So you had to get a lot of the history stuff in there. And you wouldn't think it would be that hard, but most people don't think, oh history, actually is in Romeo and Juliet. So you had to look really hard to find all the different pieces.
A lot of the information I ended up finding online, but also I looked online for actual books that I could check out from the library. So some of the information came from actual websites, and some I just found books that pertained to what I need to know so I could go check them out.
Always go to .edu if you can help it, or .gov to get your facts, because a lot of times, people are just putting stuff out there. Most of the stuff will be true, but when it comes to dates, people, a lot of times, get iffy. So you always want to make sure you double check so your teacher isn't going through like, hm. If it's your history teacher, she's like, that didn't happen then.
