Webbing and Weaving

Chicago is such an amazing place! Reading all of this information about Chicago is making me want to go there this weekend. Of course, I have absolutely no time for a fun trip right now, even a day trip. Sigh! Maybe over Christmas break.

My search process for information has been pretty successful. I am pleased with the quality of information I have been finding. My local library was a good place to start; I came home with several bags of books on my topic. The downside was that many of them were out of date. It doesn't take long for travel books to be out of date. On the positive side, these books provided me with excellent places to explore on the Internet. After reading about a place or activity in one of the books, I would then check it out online and see how the information compared. Many times, things were slightly different (mainly prices). A couple of places had moved out of the city to a surrounding suburb. A few had closed entirely.

I'm still looking for a way to creatively tie everything together for the final project. I had an "aha!" moment tonight concerning this challenge, but I'm not sure yet. I need to think about it a little more.

My next step in looking for information is going to be Inspire. I want to use the databases that are freely available to all Hoosiers. I am especially interested in what Inspire Kids has to offer on this topic.

More on this next time!
