SD Library Challenge lesson One
I searched World Book Kids for information on zebras. It had lots of great information about zebras. There are 3 kinds of zebras all living in Africa. The spend most of their time eating - something I love to do! The live in groups called herds which may have a few or several hundred zebras. The can run 40 mph. They are hunted by lions, hyenas, lepards, and cheetahs. Next I went to World Book Student and researched zebras. There was a lot more information in this version. Way too much information for my first graders! I love the idea of being able to access a reliable encyclopedia on the computer for my students. I also love the fact that they can either read the information or listen to it. This is a resource that we will be using often.
