Lesson 1

Using World Book Kids, I searched for bats.  I discovered that bats live all over the world except the artic and antartica. They choose to live in quiet places such as attics, barns, and caves.



The article included basic information about bats, the above picture, and a short video about bats.

Using World Book Student, I found quite a bit more information.  Information about habitat, different types of bats, more pictures, and a recording of bat sounds along with information about ecolocation.

Using World Book Advanced, I searched for Italy.  The left side bar gives links to specific information in the article so if the searcher is looking for information about the government, for example, they could jump right there.  On the right side bar there are primary sources listed.  I took a look at An Englishman's impression of Italy from from 1750.  I would think this would be a great resource if a student was writing a report or investigating a specific time period.

Using World Book Discover I used the links to find an article about the Bill of Rights.  I really liked the read aloud feature, as well as reading the text, it highlighted the words it was reading.
