RUSSIA!


I really liked this assignment. I think that the Culture Grams website is a wonderful resource for students to use for research. I remember when I was in 6th grade and had to do a report on India. This tool would have helped me amazingly. I know that I was still able to look up information in books, but this is nice to have your students use because it is so up to date and offers so many different options.
The only problem I had this week is that I did this assignment at work and I am unable to download Russia's National Anthem and link it. I will have to hurry and do that before class starts!

Pioneer Library

I liked this weeks assignment of looking through all those different resources. I was able to go home and show my mom how to use the eMedia source and now she is super excited to us it in her classes. The resource that I liked the most was the World book page. I thought it was so fun to be able to research so many things and have a huge variety of information show up! I spent more time on that site the other day at work than anything. It got me excited to use these resources in my own classroom!
