OK, I'm starting to feel like I'm in school again and just like then I'm behind. Guess students never learn. I don't like the feeling but life and work have been interfering.
In Sirs Discover I first went to the subject icon of sports and looked for Shaun White that way and eventually got to an article. Then I tried a search of his name and immediately came up several articles. I looked at "King of Snowboarding" plus looked at some pictures. This kid must not be aware of gravity as a force.
In the database feature I selected Lithuania (the land of my grandparents). Lots of good information from weather to industry. I especially liked the teacher resources. My daughter teaches 1st grade and she would find lots of options. In looking at the maps of the world I again looked at Lithuania. It's great that the maps are printable. I also took time to look at the historical US atlas. Once students are aware of these database features, they will find doing papers easier.
Another database feature I looked at was under "activities" -- the "Read aloud plays". I quickly reviewed "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" which was 6 pages long and would also work well in a classroom. This was an unexpected resource to me, but what a find.
