Lesson 1a -- World Book School Edition

World Book Kids articles are short with just enough informaiton for short attention spans. World Book Student articles are much longer with more discussion about the zebra and their environment. In this case the picutures used were different but I noticed that this isn't always the case. The videos included were the same in each article.


World Book Advanced - Moldova - I think it's great that a audio pronunciation is included. The first page includes lists of other sources on Modova, even Presendential Papers. I like the "facts in brief" and the maps that are available. The link to web sites which includes a link to Dept. of State Background notes is one the best pieces of information and would be great help to the patron.


World Book Discover - The articles can be translated into a different language with the click of a button. Not only does this help ESL learners but it's a great tool for teachers to use to expose the whole class to the language of one of their classmates or to easily share what a language like Chinese looks like.
