Places to look
library.mcsdga.net - Select Reese Road from the list and search our school library catalog. We have several reference books that might be useful for this assignment and biographies on some of the people on the list can be checked out.

If you are using the Internet, the first recommended place to look is www.encyclopedia.com or www.biography.com. This will help make your research more efficient. You can use a great search engine like www.metacrawler.com, www.google.com, or go to Yahooligans.com and type in your person's name. Be sure to spell it right!
