     Basic:

     I chose a test in Language Arts on the High School level to prepare for the ACT's. Overall I thought it was an excellent way to
introduce these to students. The presentation of right and wrong answers was very clear and concise. The only thing I found a bit
cumbersome was having to go back to the paragraph and then back
to the multiple choices.
     I searched Nursing and came up with numerous resources which I expected but also found some Restaurant Manager. Although not
as many they also seemed helpful.


    Advanced:
     1. I would walk them through clicking on the Elementary School tab and concentrating on the 4th grade Reading Practise
tests rather then the courses or Ebooks. I think doing actual testing
would be more beneficial.

     2. After searching Office Manager I was impressed with 
the amount of resources that were available. 69 tests, 18 courses and 13 Ebooks. In this instance I would put more emphasis on the
courses and tests but would also make sure she was aware of the
Ebooks and the fact that they could be downloaded.

     3. I would give an overview of all three but in this case would
dwell more on the Ebooks for factual information for a report.

    Common Core:

     CC 9-10 Writing Standards ( Research to Build and Present
Knowledge) Draw evidence from informational text to support
analysis, reflection and research.

Sophmore Career Paper: Have to use an Ebook from Learning Express Library as one research source for paper. Librarian will
spend one period presenting cite.

  1. Hi, Cathy, I love your Common Core connection idea. It's very doable and fits in well with what students are up to at that level. Thanks for your work with the Basic & Advanced. You are actually registered for Basic, so you only have to do the Advanced if you want to. We think Learning Express is a valuable resource for school and career improvement. Thanks for your comments.
