A Note about Classroom Resources

For the reading and writing section of this unit, I spent several days doing research. I started with U.S. Census reports since they are easy to access. My librarians introduced me to DemographicsNow which I assume was created to sort and warehouse marketing data. The amount and specificity of information they have on specific households and communities is astounding and a little frightening. Nevertheless, the source provided lots of engaging material in a variety of formats. The main North Tulsa library satellite provided help, as well. I found the 1938 and 1958 reports in vertical files. The documents I intend for student use are described earlier in the unit narrative.
