High Desert Middle School: Mrs. Meredith's Class Project on the Wonders of the World

Here is a list of some amazing places in the world, and some good web resources to help you learn more!

The best way to cite a website you use in your project is this:

Author [if known]. "Title" [main title, in italics, if applicable]. Last date updated or revised [if known]. URL (web address) of page. (Date page was accessed).

For example, this website, http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A13856970, the citation would be
"Tenochtitlan- Island City of the Aztecs". November 15, 2006. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A13856970.
