This video goes over a brief introduction and method into research suitable for high school students. Using Google, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar, I go over what types of sources to look for and tips and tricks for research.

    Claire,
    I really like the topic you chose. Mental health is such an important topic to help your audience learn how to find trustworthy information. I agree that highlighting .gov and .edu sites and checking reference lists is key for guiding researchers on what to look for. Thanks for sharing such a clear and informative video!

Make it fun and optimistic" Along with the following edits: 1) "Add in more upcoming events and a reading challenge of the month" 2) "Add a small description of each book on the recommendations list" 3) "Make the newsletter pretty"      The newsletter actually did come out very nice and detailed.

That was beneficial because I was able to make my own edits on the small things that wouldn't take up a lot of my time, such as dates and times, and could still prompt ChatGPT to create bigger edits such as adding or deleting events and adding book description...
