1. Using World Book Kids, search for information on a mammal of your choice. Find a picture and information about its habitat.
My mammal of choice - fox
Habitat- Foxes may live in forests or deserts. Some can be found living in woods inside cities.
2. Using World Book Student, search for information on the same mammal you searched in World Book Kids and compare the amount of information.
This article gave more information, and it seems to be at a higher reading level than the Kids version.
The facts table was very helpful on this site, the Kids version did not have this feature.
3. Using World Book Advanced, search for a country. Notice the types of information available on the left and right side bars of the first results screen. Click on the link for your desired country, and again notice the types of information on the left and right side bars of the screen. What types of information will be most valuable to your patrons or students?
I think the translate option would be very helpful for ESL students. There is a host of information, maps and photos for any research project .
4. Using World Book Discover, use the browse function on the right side of the screen to find an article about American government. Notice the features on the article page. How will World Book Discover help your patrons or students who are not good readers of English?

There are options to translate the article into another language, define individual words, and listen to the article read aloud. Our school has ESL students, and I think the read-aloud feature would be very beneficial.
