As I was creating lesson plans, I found that I would like to obtain some articles on women during the Revolutionary War. Once I narrowed down my topic to journals or magazines, I was able to click on "full text" and find around 10-12 articles. One of my goals was to avoid those articles that were merely book reviews, so I further narrowed my search down to 2-3 articles. Once I clicked on an article of interest, I was able to obtain the article through the Gale Cengage Student Edition (My University of Alaska EBSCO id didn't work, and neither did my SD library card number).
After I found my article, I could email it to myself (I could also print it, but I wanted it at my school). Some articles had an option to download to MP3 player or Read Speaker, which I would have loved had I had one of those needs. I will remember that for future use, however!
I'm going back to the library to find some articles related to other ethnic groups during that time period. My plan is to create a file of articles that students can read to expand their thinking.

Hi, Thunderpaws! Your SD Library card id did not work because the SD State Library is not a subscriber to Gale Cengage Student Edition, but apparently your school is. Lucky you! I love your idea of creating a file of articles to give your students a fuller idea of the Revolutionary War time period. I hope it generates new ideas for them!
