=**Task Two - Article**= [|Advanced Search Guide] Keyword Searching - Secondary Source Periodical Research Model = Task Three - Bibliography = You will be held accountable for the bibliography for three items (even though your group might have used more than one of these sources):
 * Use the library databases to locate an article (Secondary Source) on your Primary Source article.
 * Each person in your group should have a different article, so when you locate a good article, notify your group members on your Googledoc.
 * You were asked to do watch the Advanced Search Guide from EBSCOHost prior to class today and take a Quia quiz to demonstrate your understanding of the features of field searching in a database. You will be using that knowledge to search one of the periodical databases for your articles.
 * Assessment
 * 1) Be sure to limit your search to articles published after December 31, 2006.
 * 2) Be sure to limit your search to full text articles.
 * 3) Print out the citation only page of your article to turn in to Mrs. Dahlstrom at the end of class today.
 * 4) Staple the printouts of the article citations for each of your group members to the keyword handout.
 * Suggested Science Periodicals and their descriptions //(If you think of another magazine that might help your group members, please let us know so we can add it to the wiki!//):
 * 1) __Discover__ - News magazine of science devoted to the wonders, mysteries and challenges of modern science, written for the educated layperson.
