For day three of the project, you expand your work in Google Docs to 5 paragraphs, and also make your other three paragraphs longer. To do that, use information from the websites you have found (at least one website for each reason).
If you use words directly from the website, put quote marks around them and indicate in parentheses where you got those words exactly, like this: “Put words you copy from websites in quote marks like this.” (in parentheses, write from http:// etc.)
