State Report Websites


State Report Websites

Use 'only' these sites below to do your State Report online research. If you find a site on your own that you think is better, share it with me first, and I might add it to the list. There is advice under each website to save you a little time.

State Report Websites

1. Encyclopedia Britannica Online School Edition: http://school.eb.com/elementary  [ID=latin, PASSWORD=hawks] You may copy a picture or map from this site. Type the name of your state in the Search box and click Go.

Advice: (Only good for basic facts about the states)

3. IPL Kidspace: Stately Knowledge: http://www.ipl.org/div/kidspace/stateknow/  provides basic facts and links to other sources about each state

Advice: (Use the links at the bottom of each state page for detailed information on specific topics)

4. Infoplease: The Fifty States: http://www.infoplease.com/states.html  Choose state from the list below the map.

    Its Nia McFall here from Chicago. I see that the state report is finally here! I know what that was like! At my school in Chicago my teacher has been telling me about how great my writing is and i told her that it was all thanks to you! I hope to talk to you soon and i cant wait until i visit at MDPD of course. Thank you for all of the experiences that you have given me!

  17. mr. buxton,
    just 2 clarify, but im PRETTY sure that mrs. duffy + mrs. mcgarry said not to use Wikipedia because people can change it. if it is on your blog, though, i guess we CAN use it...

  18. Nia - How great to hear from you. Wow! I am pleased to hear that about your writing. I told you all those power plans would be worth it! Take care and don't forget to pop by when you come to visit.

    I am saying yes to wikipedia. I will discuss this with your Library teachers to make sure we are both in agreement.
