Socials 10

Your developing cities brochure is due on Oct. 28th.  You should be amassing as much information on your city as possible.  Look at the Carson website for information on the library and how to use some of its research tools.


This is a website recommended by a librarian friend of mine from my former high school.  The page was originally designed for ESL students, but the sites are not written in low-level English.  Check out this page:


Also, here are some websites which may help you in your search for information:

  • http://www.worldatlas.com/citypops.htm
  • http://www.mapsofworld.com/world-city-maps/
  • http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/cities-and-development
I will add more sites as I find them.  Because Wikipedia articles can be changed by anyone, they are not appropriate as original sources for your project. Do look at Wikipedia to get a general idea of your city, but then try to find other, more official sites.
