Social Science Survey


Welcome to the Survey web page- it is our hope that you will be able to "link-up" to valuable information to help you be a success in your class.

This page is organized by teacher links- just click on your teachers name and access their page.  Your teacher will update their own pages and assignments, so it may be a good idea to check with them in class as to the status of their page.  You know history teachers.... we like to talk rather than write!

Work hard on your assignment but remember this...................  like most good tools, the WEB can be powerful when used correctly, and useless or dangerous when used incorrectly.  If you are doing research on the web, and you have limited time (i.e. like most people) you need to be careful NOT to get sucked into vaguely amusing but pointless "surfing".  Just spending time browsing around is NOT the same as doing research.  Even when you think your being diligent, you can catch "IMRS" (Internet Mind Rot Syndrome).   This is serious disease that features endless time on the internet looking for information without REALLY knowing what it is your looking for until you become frustrated and decide to give it up.  Plan your research! Be smart!  Have  self-discipline.   AND REMEMBER............
 1) Brainstorm (yes, you have a brain!) narrow your topic first, think about what you are going to write on and put that on paper to help you keep focused as you go on the internet or use real books.
2) Understand  your topic- (understand means to read your text; encyclopedia or teacher supplied text on your specific subject)  When you know your topic this information will help you stay focused and avoid IMRS-
