Finding Websites for Sources
Step 1: Search Words
Search words will help you find information on
your topic. Write down three (3) search words or
phrases that will help you find information on
your topic:
1)________________________________________
2)________________________________________
3)________________________________________
Tip: Think about the information you need. If I
was doing a presentation on Greek mythology, these
might be my search words and phrases:
1) Ancient Greece myths
2) Greek mythology
3) mythology Ancient Greece
2. Step 2: Looking for Websites
Read the chart showing both websites you may use
and websites you may not use. Answer the
questions. Then, find three websites you can use.
Write down the web address.

Now, find and write down three web addresses you can use
for research:
1)____________________________________________

3)_________________________________________________________

Step 3: Bibliography
3. Now that you've found websites that you can use
to help you search, you can create bibliography
entries for them.
This is what a finished bibliography entry looks
like for a website:
Ancient Greece. 2008. University Press, Inc. 13
September 2009 <http://www.ancientgreece.com>
This is how you organize information for the entry:
Website Title. Year of copyright. Publisher of website.
Date accessed <web address>
Now, write your three bibliography entries:
1)_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________
2)_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________
3)_________________________________________________________
