Lesson 1a World Book Online

I researched the giraffe using World Book Kids. The giraffe lives in the Sahara Desert in Africa. A video is included with this article along with several pictures and basic information about giraffe.

The World Book Student includes more detailed information about the giraffe along with a map of Africa and more pictures. Citation information is also given. The vocabulary is for a more advanced reader compared to the World Book Kids.

Kenya was the country that I researched. The information about the government, people, land and climate, economy and history would be very useful for students wanting to learn more about that country.

The World Book Discover would help anyone who would like to read articles in Spanish or French. Also articles can be translated into many other languages. A student from South American who has just enrolled in our school. This feature might help her understand things if she could read it in her native language.
