Question

1. which approach demonstrates the best research plan if youre writing a report about a historical figure?

○ use the internet to add to your general knowledge of the topic, and then use academic journals to learn more detailed information.
○ interview a professor to learn general background knowledge, and then use newspapers to learn more detailed information.

○ use the internet to add to your general knowledge of the topic, and then use current issues of magazines to learn more detailed information.

Explanation:

For a historical figure report, general background knowledge is best built via the internet, then academic journals (peer-reviewed, authoritative sources) provide in-depth, verified detailed information about their life, impact, and historical context. Other options use less appropriate sources for detailed historical research: newspapers focus on current events, popular magazines lack academic rigor, and interviewing a professor is not a structured research plan foundation.

Answer:

Use the Internet to add to your general knowledge of the topic, and then use academic journals to learn more detailed information.
