    15 Trustworthy Resources: I think that this is a trustworthy resource because many teachers recommend this website for researching. Ms. Johnston recommended it to us so that we could use it for our project(s). It's kind of like Google but it narrows down your research by just picking out topics that are related to it and MOST of them are all appropriate unlike Google which SOMETIMES gives unrelated topics and inappropriate "answers".
