Junior Theme (HELP!)


For my Junior Theme I'm going to do how kids are a target for marketing and advertsing today and just how much kids consume or make their parents buy them things. I'm really interested in the subject and I have a good book and I'm excited but I'm having trouble finding more sources; like I've been looking online which I'm nervous about because some sources may not be legit and Mr. Bolos gave me a good book. But yea i think i still need to do alot of work before i start writing the solid paper or drafts.

Not sure what hppened in the previous post, but here's a web site that might interest you or Bernadette - you may want to share it with here:

Also check out some of the "themes" they talk about:

Another suggestion is to look at any footnotes or bibliography in the book that you have:

is there an expert who is quoted frequently? Try searching in ProQuest or Expanded Academic for more works by that person?
Does s/he have a website?
Are there any organizations which are frequently mentioned? If so, try looking for their sites, too.

That's a brief start, but also see me or Mrs. G and we can look together.
