 * From Galileo**: I have recently been doing this Galileo Scavenger Hunt with our 5th grade classes. I edited the document from Galileo to include Destiny and Webpath express. My EQ is Database or Search Engine? Waht are the differences? What databases are available for students at RNE? [|Galileo Scavenger Hunt] Martha Powell

** Example **:
I took the lesson that Pier Mays designed for her high school class and created a Prezi presentation and worksheet. If you want to review, the link is:

Found Poetry - Prezi Presentation

Below is a two sided student worksheet that is given out after the Prezi presentation. The first page is for individual work (the line from the poem and the MLA format) the 2nd page is for the group poem that the students are creating. This worksheet could be graded for content by the Media Specialist and/or the teacher.
