Lesson 9

Who am I?

1. The Olympic is the sister ship to the Titanic. Could not get picture in.

2. The result of Hindenburg, dirigible were 613 newspaper and magazine articles.

3. Seemed like everything I clicked on in Heritage Quest would give me and address to get the information. I would rather use Ancestry since I was able to actually view the information.

4. 7.W.3 Students would research their family history and the time period in the place their ancestors lived. Then students would incorporate information from to their family tree with other information together in a descriptive report.

lesson 8

Martin Luther King

1. I would recommend the title "March on! :the day my brother Martin changed the world" by Christine King Farris;  London Ladd 

         The nearest library owning the title - Siouxland Libraries.

     2. Persepolis published by Pantheon Books.

     3. My Fair Lady for title, clicked score. Accession No: OCLC: 26429906

     4. Teachers would be able to view and check out books that would help them implement common             core into their classrooms. Students can search for titles in one spot without the hassle of calling,             driving and searching different websites for titles they need that our school library does not have.

Camio

1. I searched fashion clicked on the sidebar 1800 and was shown prints of different dress worn in that time period.
2. 6.W.2.a - Students would research and find prints that they would include in reports about life in Egyptian Times. 

Lesson 7

1. A class in the library had a project where they would select an invention, research the history, the changes and how it is today. This site is easy to find the info they needed and it was fast!

2. I had some problems but was able to find the books.

3. Research the history of an item, cite where they found their information and integrate it in their own words. "Integration of knowledge and Ideas"7 & 9

Lesson 6

1. I searched - holidays, then within results searched spring then traditions, food and festivals. Many countries were listed with Event overview. Lots of easy to find info and pictures too. I really like this site! MS friendly!!!

2. The first topic was T'ai Chi. In advance search I chose after 2012. Then sort by publication date.
Super easy!!!

3. Students would be able to site specific evidence to support the analysis of primary and secondary sources.

4. Students each receive a topic in Ancient Egypt. They will research and present their finding in a Power Point presentation.
6th grade students will be able to  Use precise words and phrases, relevant descriptive details, and sensory language to convey experiences and events when they report their findings.

I LOVE THIS SITE!!!!

Lesson 5

1. I did an advanced search then I narrowed my results. For me it was easier to use the advance search first. The search came up with articles about the book.

2. I found this very difficult to find. If I was a MS student I would use World Book.

3. 7th grade students would be able to find information for a short research project using several sources. And generate  focused questions or further research.

 

SIRS Discove

1. I went to advanced search and unchecked the moderate and challenging buttons. The first site that came up was "Our Solar System". The print was large and doubled space. It also included a quiz. I like that it was not too wordy and over powering for young struggling readers.
2. When Volcano is searched  - 141 items in the graphic tab. I did an advance search and it should 0 graphics but when I clicked on the blue hi-lighted volcano in the first article 187 images turned up.
3. SIRS Issue Researcher of course. Standards search, Curriculum Relevant, Student Safe are just a few of reasons to use SIRS over Google.
4. Gun control, school lunch program and pet ordinances.
5. 8th grade students would be given a debate topic and then use SIRS Issue Researcher for information to debate their side. The standard that would be met is Comprehension and Collaboration CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.8.1 (I really like the educator resource)

I got an A+ Lesson 3

1. Informational, Narrative and General are the practices that I would show a 4th grader needing help with comprehension skills. 
2. I would recommend "Writing Skills For the Workplace" to show them the fundamentals of writing and preparing documents and being organized.
3. I found - "Becoming A Nurse" and "Becoming a Healthcare Professional". Lots of nursing information.
4. Common Core ConnA 6th grade class would use the Math Skill Improvement - Data Analysis and Probability Practice to introduce, practice and test their skills. The explanation of the problem as they go is an added bonus!   CCSS.Math.Content.6.SP.A.1 

Week 2

Chilton

1. I would be able to show my neighbor the "Chilton" web site. We would enter in the info of their Jeep. Using the prompts on the left side you are able to narrow your search to Steering, Steering Wheel then on the main page select "removal and installation". You are able to click on relating videos and animations/tech tips. The one I would choose would be "Removal of the steering wheel and clock spring"   
2. Unable to find the info. Kept circling me back to VIN number. Is that what you wanted?
3. Students will choose automobiles for single and different size families. They will need to look at safety, recalls, service schedule, cost and insurance. They would report and discuss their findings in groups. 

Mango

1. The student would be able to type in Vietnamese and Mango would translate to English. We would be able to type to them in English and they would read the Vietnamese.
2. Students who are reading/studying in a different language would be able to use this site if they are having problems translating the text they are reading. I had problems finding common core info on foreign languages... 

Adventure Number 1!

1. The maps are easy to use and have a lot of information that the students can use when studying different countries. They also have information about the countries flag. I also like the quick and easy science projects that are available. This site is very easy to use.
2. Behind the Headlines in World Book I was able to click within the report that would take me to a "special report" or article that contained in depth information about subjects mentioned in the report. The tags also offer easy ways to find information with a click of a button!(Now just to get the students to click that button!)
3. For teachers to be able to click on the content standard to view was so helpful. I also like the fact that the text can be read to you. The websites you can visit relating to the book or author are an added bonus for viewing different images or information. 
4. The way the visual dictionary breaks down the parts of science makes is nice for the visual learners! The time line is wonderful! I like the atlas for the all information it gives on the country you are studying. The help with organizing research is nice! The World Book Explains videos are fun to add to the subject being study.
