Use topic and subject headings or filters to help you narrow down your choices.  
2. Look at the titles of poems. 
3. Skim the poems.  Can you understand most of the vocabulary?  Do you see lines that connect to your book somehow?
3. Save the links to any that look promising! ]]> 2023-01-23 00:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_doherty/cfdxes4ax2kzi4i1/wish/2452639760 sue_doherty https://padlet.com/sue_doherty/cfdxes4ax2kzi4i1/wish/2452643871 1. Use specific topics rather than broad themes. For example, if you were searching for articles to connect to The Outsiders, you might search for "juvenile deliquency" or "teen gang violence."
2. Try different search terms if you aren't finding much.  For instance, you could use the word "adolescence" instead of "teen."
3. Once you find some results, select "magazines" or "newspapers" to find articles.
4. Skim the results.  Look especially at titles, dates, the number of words, and if available, levels (the number of dots -- 5 is the highest, and usually too hard for middle school students).
5. If there are a lot of results, filter further by Subjects, Document Type, Content Level (if available), and/or Topic Finder. ]]> 2023-01-23 00:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_doherty/cfdxes4ax2kzi4i1/wish/2452643871 sue_doherty https://padlet.com/sue_doherty/cfdxes4ax2kzi4i1/wish/2452645830 2023-01-23 00:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_doherty/cfdxes4ax2kzi4i1/wish/2452645830
