Boys and Girls,

I know, like most people, you enjoy Googling whatever you're interested in and clicking the information you find.

This kind of searching works out if you actually know what you are looking for and can tell fact from fiction.

My question is this...How can YOU tell if something is real or not?

Will will be learning how to tell facts from opinions in Reading and this is a very useful skill.

How do you know the information you found was written by someone reliable, with experience or perhaps a job related to that topic?

One of our future visits to the Media Center will include an exploration of excellent online encyclopedias and solid fact based resources.

For now, I have a challenge for you!

Using what you know about sea creatures, trees and the United States:

•      Go to this website.
•      Find out what you can about the rare Pacific Tree Octopus.
•      And let me know where we can get one for the class because they are so cute!
