JOURNAL TOPIC: ["Where Do the Children Play?" by Cat Stevens]
Since we're talking about the commons this week... where DO children get to play anymore? When I was a kid, we played at the park, in the street, in the yard of the abandoned house down the street... but in a world of driving long distances, concrete, pandemics, crime, play dates, etc., what do little kids do these days for unstructured fun?

In that spirit, please complete the deliverable below. I'm available via email today and over the weekend if you have questions or need help.
DELIVERABLE: Search online for topics related to your key interest/s. Find AT LEAST FIFTEEN (15) resources that: a) contain high-quality information; and b) are published by credible individuals or organizations.
As you search, document the value of your resources by writing the following information in a post on your blog (title: FINAL MASTERPIECE RESEARCH PHASE ONE):

- A brief explanation (1-5 sentences) of who published the information and why you consider them a credible authority in the field
