Lesson 5 -- netLibrary
1. I chose to do a search on crafts and came up with 12 different texts that i could review. They vary from crafts for the different seasons to sell your crafts online. Only one text was culturally related it was the one for native American arts of north America, with this one I was disappointed that the description did not include the native American population of México since we are in north America as well a fact I find strangely missing from the geography classes that our students receive in school. However the variety was good even for 12 texts.
2. Constitution day -- Some of the 15 titles the search suggested when I typed "constitution" as a key word were:
A Companion to the United States Constitution and Its Amendments
by Vile, John R.
Our Elusive Constitution: Silences, Paradoxes, Priorities
SUNY Series in American Constitutionalism
by Hoffman, Daniel N.
The Bill of Rights
Magill's Choice
by Lewis, Thomas T.
The search also suggested books on the constitution of Japan the empire and Japan after 1946 (end of WWII). In order to use this resource I would suggest to students they should refine their searches as much as possible, still 15 searches only 2 of them were not relevant to the U.S. constitution.
3.Nebraska -- this search brought titles such as "O Pioneers! by Cather, Willa." A s well as stories of the plains "indians," it also brought books on settling the west and the reshaping of modern Omaha. I feel this option would be more beneficial than just using the first search. I am confident students will be able to access a good variety of information. This search came up with 4+ pages of titles the student would be able to create a well rounded research or essay.
Good report and observations, profe Lunde. Si, our knowledge of our southern neighbors is incomplete to say the least. Glad you were able to find good results here. One key is to try searching in a variety of ways, as you did for this lesson. Thanks for your comments!
