Research Stuff
If you have to research a topic for class, it's smarter to start with databases. Databases are provided by the state with the taxes your parents or guardians pay. These sources are already approved, and you don't have to worry about evaluating them to see if they are fake. They are available through the Internet, but they are not considred Internet sources. These are controlled sources while anyone can post on the Internet.
