Using Google

Topic #1 : Great Depression

My topic Is the Great Depression, In order to find the best results you need to go to advanced search on Google. Then I clicked on exact phrase and put in The Great Depression. And it gave me 2,340,000 results which is great because now I can have a great selection of websites that i can count on. But then i wrote something extra i wrote the "hobos" which is what the poor people were called, well the ones that were working on railroads asking for money. It gives Me a result of 67,800.

Topic#2: 9/11

My Second topic Is 9/11, for my search I did the same thing to search my second topic. And I found 172,000,000. But then i added an extra word Which was firefighters and it was narrowed down to 1,660,000 results. Then i added an extra word which was pentagon and i got 468,000 results which is less than half.=] Which is good enough to do a great book report.
