Advance Challenge #4

Using World Book Discover special features under Reference Tools helps pull the students research together. The students personal research is available with just a click, including the dictionary, atlas and citation builder. Very easy to use.

Advanced Challenge #3

3. Using the E-Book Center in World Book Advanced I looked up Andersen's Fairy Tales. There were special tools available such as being able to read selected sections, access text to speech, and I love that students are able to save articles to their personal research so that it is readily available all in one spot. There is alot of related info listed so students can choose which directions to take their research. Such as a bio of the author, other works by the same author or lists of other literature of the same type.

1. Using World Book Kids; In "World of Animal" I was able to compare two land mammals. This would be helpful to students researching why certain animals are better suited to different areas and climates.
However, I was unable to find how to compare Places. Maybe you can give me a tip as to where to do this .
The "Games and activitie" section really had a lot to offer to students who learn in different ways. I can see how these would help keep a student interested in an assigned topic.

2. Using World Book Student I started by checking out "Biography". I was able to search for authors that were American and from the 1900's. This could definitely be used by the English teachers. I just had to also look at the "Behind the Headlines". An encyclopedia that offers current events...very cool. I really liked "The weekly current events game".  This isn't your grandmas encyclopedia!

Lemurs live only in Madagascar and Comoros. Both countries are islands off the coast of Africa.
