Research Portfolio


Find at least two credible websites (so, you’ve evaluated them, using our CURRA evaluation criteria) and cite them. Include annotations for each website summarizing the content of the website and how you plan to use it in your research project.

“Ku Klux Klan.” 2012. The History Channel website. Nov 7 2012, 8:53  http://www.history.com/topics/ku-klux-klan.

I chose the history.com website because it covers many aspects of the Ku Klux Klan. In searching through the website I found articles/information on how they began, problems they have caused over the years all kinds of information. I could use this website in my research by giving information on the Ku Klux Klan, their history, and discuss the chaos they have caused and are still causing.

"Top Conditions." What Is Xenophobia and What Are Its Serious Consequences If We Don't Stop               It? N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Nov. 2012. http://www.wellness.com/blogs/sydshahid/2009/what-     is-xenophobia-and-what-are-its-serious-consequences-if-we-dont-stop-it/syed-shahid-           md>.

I believe this is a great resource because it gives information on Xenophobia. I did some research on the author and found that he has an MD and has been working in various fields of medicine for the past 25 years. This source would be very useful for my research in that I wanted to cover Xenophobia but to narrow that down further, I am covering a more specific type of it which is racism and how that ties into being fearful of people.

  1. I think that the website that you chose will be a good credible and reliable resource to use for your research presentation! I also think that your second resource will be very helpful as well. It is good to go through each website like you did and pick out the parts of the information that will be right for your presentation. I think your topic is very interesting and will be great to listen to.
