What sources would you use to research this topic> Example: I would choose to focus my research on the Ulster Plantation and how Irish Catholics were disenfranchised in their own country. In order to research this topic, I would schedule a library visit in order to secure five sources. 5)Extra Credit-Reading Resolution. We come up with New Years Resolution.
