I searched for the country Tanzania, since my son has made two trips there, and the people hold a spot in our hearts. The left side gives search results for maps, tables, sounds, pictures, back in time, special reports, websites and research guides. Click "sounds" and you can even have the opportunity to hear the Tanzanian National anthem. Once you click on an article the right side will give you primary sources. The images present a broad representation of the country showing Dar Salaam and Arusha (cities) and rural life and farming. It also has articles and photos of Kilimanjaro National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria. This is the area of Tanzania that brings many tourists to the area. Related articles tell of Jane Goodall, Terrorism, Huti & Tutsi conflicts, which gives some background and history for the researcher.
In World Book Discover I enjoyed researching American Government. There are 198 articles, and numerous features. The World Book Discover helps patrons who are still working on their English skills because is offers the opportunity to translate the text. This feature is easily found on the left side. Also, the feature video right now (The Great Depression) has printed text that you can follow at the same time as hearing the video.
The more we play around, the more familiar things are becoming.
Keep playing around and you will keep finding more! You did a great job describing what you found. I hope you will take a moment to look at Discover's special features World Book Explains (videos) and the Visual Dictionary. Thanks for your comments!
