heyy! If your college has any links to websites like JSTOR or other online e books look on there for info. Spartacus educational is also really good for quickly finding specific info
I started with roughly looking over the topic and coming up with the main points I wanted to talk about. Then I looked at the contents pages of books to find those topics and took out quotes with specific details - make sure you write all the references down otherwise your going to make it harder for yourself when you are writing it.
After you have your quotes write down a bullet point summarising how you can use it in the essay. it makes it so much easier to write it out.
If you have a similar question to me I could send you some of the notes I have? :smile:

Hope this helps
