Your draft should include an updated Header with your topic, an updated introductory statement about your topic, keywords, subject headings and your Wikipedia topic.

One of the most important skills needed to do effective searching is to be able to identify terms to use for your search. This applies not only to library catalogs, but also to Internet searching. I would like you to identify key words, and then look for relevant Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) that you can use with your topic. Create a "My Ideas" note card in NoodleTools to list the words and subject headings that you come up with.
