When you can't reach the bookshelves...


... you learn to use eBooks!  Since the bookfair was in the media center last week, media classes met in the lab.  We were able to continue our focus on reading "for pleasure and personal growth" even though we didn't have physical books to read.  We read eBooks using Ebsco's eBook database provided on NC WiseOwl.  Students learned to search for nonfiction topics they wanted to read about and to browse for fiction books they may like to read.  Students were excited to discover books about topics such as the Titanic, gymnastics, monster trucks, the history of video games, and more!   All of our NC WiseOwl resources can be used at home.  Contact Mrs. Galvan (agalvan@wcpss.net) if you need the password.
