Doing Research for an English Project? Make it Simple!

Are you working on a project for your English class?
Do you need to have some research done on a particular topic? 
Does the amount of information used in encyclopedias overwhelm you? 
Then the Simple English Wikipedia is for you!


Simple English Wikipedia is a good resource for less intensive searches. Children and non-English speakers, especially people who are learning English, can give this simpler version of Wikipedia a read. 
The Simple English Wikipedia is for everyone! Simple English words and grammar are used, as well as shorter sentences. This lets people who know little English understand the content.




Another interesting online resource is Ten Word Wiki.
If you are searching for a Wikipedia that’s even simpler than the Simple English Wikipedia, go to Tenwordwiki.com
This site helps you to find facts and meanings in exactly ten words. You can think of it as the Twitter equivalent of WikipediaTenwordwiki.com shows you that sometimes information can also be given with a bit of humour.
