As I continued on to World Book Student, again exploring lions, I discovered an even greater amount of information. Here, I could still see photos and videos, in addition to a map of where lions are found. This entry provided a great deal of detail about lions including body dimensions, diet, and habits of lions.
I found the outline of information on the left very useful as well as the related information that is posted to the right. The tools that are offered would be very beneficial for students who may be writing a research paper. Sections can be printed out, emailed or saved. A term can be highlighted throughout the text. The student can also double-click on a word and the definition will then open in another window.
Again, as a teacher, I noticed that the citation is included, in addition to showing that the content of the article aligns with South Dakota Content Standards. By clicking on the content standards, a teacher can find curriculum correlations, professional links, and related lesson plans.
Great observations, MCRC! From the World Book Student search box, you & your students can choose to search World Book Student or World Book Student + Kids, which can be helpful for those students in-between. You have found a lot of the nice features of Student's articles. Take a minute to look at some of the special features, such as trivia quizzes, timelines, and Surf the Ages.
