Lesson 3. Learning Express

After answering a section of ACT questions, I clicked on the view answers and got to see the section of test that I had taken. I told me what I needed to work on and which questions I answered were right or wrong.
I feel that this resource will be very helpful to many users, I can see many of our students taking advantage of this resource. I also looked at the Skills Improvement / Carrier Topic, and I chose an eBook that I was interested in. It was in Culinary Arts after reading through this I changed my opinion on wanting to try to get into Culinary Arts, it appears I wouldn't have the stamina to keep up with the fast paced kitchen life. I'll stick with my day job and the cooking to my own little kitchen.
In my last blog I wrote about Chilton and Mango and I neglected to say how helpful these resources will be for our students, Yearly, I get students in asking if we have Chilton books, or if we have Rosetta Stone. So it will be extremely nice for me to show them what the state has to offer them.

Lesson 2. Chilton Library Basic


1. On a 2003 Buick Century, 3 things that should be done by 30,000 miles are; Replace air cleaner and PCV valve.
Service/ Inspect accessory drive belt.
Service/ Inspect Automatic transmission fluid and filter.

2. Most recent recall notice was on May 03,2006,  and the problem was a GM Product Recall Campaign Follow Up Post Card.



Lesson 2. Mango Languages

1. I chose Italian because it is a language I have always wanted to learn to speak, and also because I have a little Italian in my blood. I learned that about 70 million people speak Italian as their first language, and that about 125 million people speak it as their second language. It is spoken in Italy, Switzerland, San Marina, Vatican City, Malta, Slovenia, Croatia, Eritrea, Somalia, France especially in Corsica.

2. I think this will be very helpful to a person learning a new language. I liked that it took everything in steps, such as, learn one word , then another, finally you end with a sentence. It seemed to add words a little fast for me and it was a little bothersome, but if you get to tripped up you can always keep going back.

Lesson 1 c.

1. This could be useful because it can be viewed in either English or Spanish and you can see how the different parts of the animal how the different parts of the animal are called.


2. It would be useful to people who don't speak either language very well learn either the pronunciation or the text.

Lesson 3.
World Book Advanced

I searched for Italy, and then narrowed my search down to Italian Language.
On the far left you have search results, next Encyclopedia Articles, then to the right Primary Sources, and E-books.
I then clicked on Italian Language again on the far left you get your article contents, main sections, introduction, and Italian grammar. In the next section you get Italian grammar characteristics, and then nouns, adjectives, verbs, word order and development.



Lesson 4.
World Book Discover

On this lesson I searched for Marquis de Lafayette.
The tools at the top of the page that will help foreign readers are the highlighter search term in text and the double-click a word to define it.

Lesson 1.
World Book Kids

My first blog I misread the instructions now after looking more carefully at the following question I have chosen a different topic.
Today's blog is about Dogs. I am an avid lover of animals, Dogs especially I own 1 and I also have 1 Cat, who I equally affectionate for.
Dogs are the first animal tamed by people, at first people used dogs for protection or as work dogs, they trained the dogs to herd other animals and to help in hunting.
Today the majority of people feel and treat their dogs and other animals as members of their own family. Which is kind of ironic because all dogs descend from wolves which are pack animals.
There are many different types of dogs today.



Lesson 2.
World Book School Edition

For this lesson I chose an animal that I know very well, and that is one of a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, this is the kind of dog that I own.
They are a small strong breed of dog, when first breed they were used to herd cattle by nipping at their feet,
my own dog does this not to cattle but to me, to make sure I am going where she wants me to go.
The word Corgi comes from two Welsh words that mean dwarf dog, they have a fox-like appearance with large ears and a long bushy tail, and a rough coat.
They are on average about 12 inches tall, and usually weigh about 26-34 pounds, although, mine probably weighs about 40 to 50 pounds, maybe not that much but she is a bit chubby.

Today, using World Book Kids, I looked up an animal that I have always found to be a little bit scary.
So I decided I wanted to know more about the animal.
It is a Barracuda, It has very scary looking teeth, very long, narrow and extremely sharp.
They can grow up to be about 6 feet long, and weigh as much as 100 pounds.
There are more than a dozen types of barracuda's, they live in the Atlantic, Indian, and Western Pacific Oceans.
