LESSON 2

  • SIRS Discover:
  • Got about 20 hits, not all relevant. I like that it tells you reading levels and other info in article, such as, whether there are pictures, activities, etc.
  • I chose Mauritania because I've never heard of it and I found out that you can get tons of info about it! The History time-line was just one of the great things about it.
  • Maps of the World
  • Biographies: Can find numerous biographies, sort by different criteria.


  • SIRS Issues Researcher
  • Packed full of helpful and useful information. Especially liked the research tools, note organizer very cool!
  • I chose Language Arts. There's a section to give you research ideas, you can find info on several different courses, different languages, reading and writing help, a "How do I?" section, lots of info I didn't know it had!

  1. Hi, Musings, thanks for your comments. Looks as if you found lots to like in SIRS Discoverer and SIRS Issues Researcher. We think they're great, especially for school kids.
