World Book School Kids
The way this reference site is organized is very helpful. A student can browse subjects, in this case, mammals, if they are not sure which animal to choose, or, they can search by name. They are then given an option of viewing the article which is written in paragraph form or view an "exhibit" which is helpful information in a list format. The appeal of this site is the visual content--pictures in the articles as well as videos. A great reference tool for students just beginning the research process.
There are options for sharing and printing the information found as well as translating the test to a different language and text to speech. At the end of the article is a section on how to cite the source and sites for further information. What a great place to start a research project!

Welcome to the Challenge, and thanks for the post, Denise. Looks as if you found a good resource for your beginning researchers! How will you and your students use the Advanced and Discover modules?
