Objective: Create a presentation that thoroughly answers the question “How is World War II an example of ‘Total War’?”
Your presentation must demonstrate your understanding of the concept and characteristics of Total War, and how specific aspects of World War II are evidence of those characteristics.
You must complete ALL parts of the Assignment packet, and turn it in with your presentation and separate citation page (total of 3 documents).
These books are on the shelves. If you need help finding them, please ask! :-)
You are required to cite all sources in your Works Cited, as well as specific references of information from those sources in the body of your paper (in-text citations).
Truncation lets you search for a term and variant spellings of that term.
Just add an asterisk (*) to a word with multiple endings:
EXAMPLE: interact* will search interacting, interacted, interaction, and interactivity
For more precise searching, connect your keywords in a meaningful way using the words AND, OR, and NOT.
Using AND narrows your search.
EXAMPLE:
The more keywords you connect with AND, the fewer results you will retrieve. The database will need to find each of your keywords in the text in order to show it to you.
EXAMPLE: "homeless youth" AND "education" AND "new york city"
Using OR broadens their search. You should get MORE results using this strategy.
EXAMPLE: water OR lake OR river OR stream
Using NOT narrows your search.
This type of search is good to use when you already know what you DO NOT want.
EXAMPLE: (cars OR automobiles) NOT Europe.
Sometimes you may want to search for a phrase. Using QUOTATION MARKS around a group of words will search the phrase as a whole instead of by individual terms.
EXAMPLES:
"common cold"
"primary school"
"community college"
