Begin your quest with these resources. Your teachers will love them! Your library has lots of **books** on King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, but finding good stuff on the 2012 London Olympic games would be tough without great electronic resources. Link from these pages! Want the latest on Prince William and Kate's baby? Be careful of [|British tabloids]! They are infamous for yellow journalism (shady information), just like the ones at the grocery check out.======

=
Lots of the websites have a "uk" suffix, which means they were authored and supported in the United Kingdom. For instance, [|www.bl.uk]. The British Library, is a great starting point for " All Things British ," with more links to great sources. And, if you're going to Google--and you know you are--do it with a little British flair through [|www.google.co.uk.]. the United Kingdom's Google engine.======

** LOOK ** at the menu on the left: each page features ideas on the direction for your research, so click on a page and start exploring!
OR, read about a teen girl's summer adventure in London to get a better idea for your research topic!

Sheldon, Dyan. (2006) __I Conquer Britain__. Cambridge: Candlewick. Cherokee is excited to get out of Brooklyn, but her summer in London takes some strange turns even before she leaves the airport! The suburb she's staying in seems more like New Jersey, though no one eats pizza with a knife and fork in Jersey, of course. Somehow this foreign country seems more like a parallel universe where everything is both familiar and strange. Good thing Cherokee likes a challenge!
