For the research project that I am doing I think that all of the sources would be helpful. I feel like each one of them would touch the subject in a different light. I’m doing my project over the relationship between the klu klux klan and the illness of xenophobia. The two sources that stick out to me as being the best is the scholarly book and scholarly journal articles. The reason why I think this will be best is because my research question has a history base in it, meaning the klu klux klan. I feel like scholarly sources would give me the most information to prove facts on the subject. The scholarly sources would give me a better meaning on the subject as in me being able to understand and grasp the material better. The next one that I would look into is a newspaper which I would be able to refer to for dating actually events. Newspaper article I feel will go hand in hand with the informational fact that I get from the scholarly sources. When looking at a newspaper it shows the effect of whatever is going on it’s a resource that you go to when looking for examples of what you are arguing.  A book as a source can play as a very board source but I feel if it was like a book that was written by someone that actually went along or had witness first had the klu klux klan actions some of the material could maybe help support the argument that is trying to be made.  Government documents can be used if I want to show the statics of a situation mostly I can use graphs or charts to help with proving my research has some type of substance background. Magazines and encyclopedia may also be helpful but I’m not too sure in what way.
