Welcome, English 100 students! 

This guide will help you find an outside source, such as an article or an essay, that you can use for your compare and contrast essay. It will also help you to locate the variety of resources you will need to write your research essay about an issue raised in Fast Food Nation and/or Stuffed and Starved.

We will explore books, databases and Internet websites that will help you.

We will also discuss what a database is!

Finally, we will look at a few examples of articles and essays and talk about how you can use them, i.e., save them and cite them.
