Use Google to search the web.

NOTES
You are free to find your own topic, provided you get it approved, and there is enough material.
Be sure to tell YOUR TEACHER when you have chosen a topic....
No two people with the same native language may have any given topic.
The first to claim it gets it.
SOURCES: Remember, you do not have to find all your sources NOW. However, you should be sure that you can find ENOUGH to write a good paper, and don't choose a topic for which there are TOO MANY SOURCES (for example, "Kinds of Pollution in Tennessee"). In the end you will need a MINIMUM OF FIVE:
1. at least one book
2. at least three non-newspaper
3. at least three current (1999, 2000, or 2001)
4. at least one linking the problem to Tennessee...
GOOD LUCK!!!
