Hi everyone,
READ carefully!
In reading over your work I noticed several things that need to be changed or corrected.
Spelling – I would like you to re-read your comments – are there spelling mistakes to change?
Blog rules – no emoticons
Thoughtful answers – some of you may wish to change your answers to reflect your thoughtfulness.
Overall: I am pleased that many of you found books and websites to help you learn new information. I am also pleased that many of you were able to find answers to your questions.
Today:
1. If you need to finish your blog – do that.
2. If you have checked your spelling and answered questions using a sentence, then you may answer this question:
** Why do we need to find more than one resource to answer a research question?
It has been a pleasure having you in Library Skills class this trimester.

Answers:1891, dr.James naiismith, from the game duck on a rock
My subject is about dogs. I found alot of books about dogs, including the encyclopiedia of dogs and Dogs the prtrait of the animal world . I was able to find info about dogs on about.com and dogbreedinfo.com. One of the questions I was able to answer was how many dog breeds there are in the world. I later found out that there were excactly 441 dog breeds in the world
My topic was soccer

The World Encyclopedia of Soccer by: Michael L. LaBlanc and Richard Henshaw
and Soccer: Jim Bebbington
My question was:
Is soccer one of the five most popular sports in America?
I found out it is NOT one of the five most popular sports in America
It is important to have more than one resorce when answering a question because some areas that you look in could not be up to date. So when you have more than one place to look some places will have more up to date answers. For example: an old encyclopidea might have old answers to the question but a brand new encyclopidea that just came out today would have very up to date facts. Then you would have more of a chance of getting the answer right.

What is your topic? the cheetah
What are the titles of the books you found? Simon and Schuster’s Guide to mammals
What websites did you find? ESBO animals
What questions were you able to answer? yes like how many spots do they have and that is around 41 spots on every adult
Write your answers here.
It is important to have more than one resource because some may not be reliable. For example say you were researching dinosaurs and you are wondering what they eat. You find a childrens fictional book and it says they like to eat pie. You are pretty sure that is not right. So you look in a encyclopedia and you get the right answer.That is why it is important.
It is importen to use more then one resors when reserching stuff because one reserch might not give enough imfromation. And the other resorse might have a better imfromtion.
What is your topic? My topic is dogs!
What is the title of the books you found? The books I found are Good Dog and Puppies and Dogs.

penguins

What websites did you find?
none
What questions were you able to answer?
This trimester I have been learning about penguins from the book Penguins and learned that if thair eggs are on the ice for more then 8 seconds they will die. I could not find any websites
The reason that we use more than one referance is because we need to be able to get accurate information. If one website said one thing and two books said a different thing you would know that most likely the books would be right and the website would be wrong.
I think you need to find more than one resource because there could be more info in different sites or books.
