From Database Information to Summary...it just takes practice

This week Ms Lea and Ms Ingrid are supporting the current Grade 4 Where We Are in Place and Time unit by sharing two new databases available from the ES Library Media Centre home page. These are World Almanac and Learn 360. 




Following on from lessons about how to locate information and articles in the World Almanac, we discuss how highlighters can be used to select keywords about the explorer Captain James Cook. Using these keywords, the girls practice skills of summarising this new knowledge, before sharing their ideas orally in their classrooms.
