Here is a chance for you to practice finding information on your own. Google is going to be your best starting point but you may find other pieces of information other places.

Task

In Google, type in "opinions of American education" and select 2 sites. Make sure to give the name of the article, the website URL, and a summary of each article. Also, try to find a positive outlook and a negative one.

2. Google, the First Lady's page concerning school lunches and child nutrition. Give the URL address and a summary of her plan.

3. Google the National School Boards Association and search the site for school health programs. Give an overview of their position.

4. Google a topic you would like to consider in schools- curriculum, testing, standards, etc. In other words, what do you want to know about the place where you have spent most of your life.

Make sure to either write all of this stuff down on a sheet of paper or put it into a Word document.
