Before We Get Started:
Source: Giphy
Your first thought about starting this project is probably to start googling and to go to Wikipedia...
And while Wikipedia is a fantastic source for initial research and topic finding, it is NOT a citable source for this type of project. DO NOT commit plagiarism by using information from these articles in your paper. Just as you would not copy sentences from a general encyclopedia, like Britannica (see below), you should not copy from Wikipedia. You SHOULD definitely look at the notes, references, bibliography, and external links of articles which can lead you to academic sources that will strengthen your project.
