===This task is designed to help you unpack research questions and use search techniques to find relevant information quickly.===

You will be investigating one of three topics in groups. Your first task is to select which topic you are going to investigate. Once you have selected which topic you will be studying enter the names of your group members. Once a topic has been chosen and the names of the group have been entered, you cannot overwrite them. That would be rude.

For **your** topic you and your group will create a guide for the other groups in the class that shows how to use that technique to find information to answer research questions. In your guide include:


 * an explanation of the technique
 * examples of how to use the technique
 * how you can use your technique to improve the efficiency of your search process and explain this in your guide
 * how to use the technique in EBSCO, United Streaming, JSTOR, Google and WorldBook Online


 * Create your guide on a new wiki page that is linked to this one, not on this page.** Watch this video to see how to do this. If you have used a wiki before, you won't need to watch the whole video. Go ahead and skip to 1:50 seconds and just watch the section on making new pages.


 * Your wiki is the work of your group, you control what it says and how it looks.** As a group think about:


 * how people learn and ensure that your guide addresses different learning styles
 * how you will negotiate edits
 * how to make your guide an academically honest piece of work
