Tips:
>
 * Use the library books in Ms. Jolly's room -- these books present both sides of the topic.
 * Use [|EBSCO](on [|Ed1Stop]) to search for current articles on your topic (especially health).
 * Check Discovery Streaming (on [|Ed1Stop]) for videos explaining your topic (for example, there are 26 abortion videos to view and take notes).
 * If we don't have a book, use the public library's catalog to search for something: [|Bel-Tib Public Library].
