Step 1
In class, we have each picked a topic we want to expand upon or feel strongly about. We have picked this topic to obtain more research and learn more about it. Today we found out new ways to search information that can be very helpful. In the book The Curious Researcher, it is asking us to do something similar.
In step 1 it asks you to find two more search engines that we have not used yet for our research topic. I have already used google so I will also use Ask.com (http://www.ask.com) and Yahoo! Search (http://search.yahoo.com).
My research topic or this essay is going to be child abuse or abuse in general and reasons why it may be increasing. I picked two key words in the question "Why is there an increase in abuse?" and they were increase and abuse. I typed these words into the search engines of the prior search engines and got many results that were useful for my next essay.
