  1. Hi, Amanda:

    Wow, I like that you included the highlighting, that really helps explain the process. You did a nice job identifying the key concepts and linking with boolean connectors. One thing to consider is synonyms/vocabulary. It's helpful to come up with alternative words for your topic to help broaden your search, since different disciplines describe things differently. For example, I would try college AND "high school" AND (earnings OR wages OR salary) would lead to better results. You don't want to go overboard with the synonyms but it's a good reminder that vocabulary is important and changes slightly with your topic.

    Cheers,
    Andrea
