I had seen it and bookmarked as an explorers site since grade 5 studies explorers. I wish I knew who had first told me about it because they did not know it was full of intentional inaccuracies. As others have mentioned, I greatly appreciate learning about such a useful unit to teach information literacy skills to elementary children. I have been searching for many years and most have fall so short of being elementary appropriate. Thanks Again, Susan Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I've been working on building more into my classes on research of all kinds from books to the Internet this year. I read through your whole post and look forward to coming back tomorrow. It will complement what I'm currently working on with my 3rd-5th grade students. I'm sure I will be able to adapt it to 6th-8th, as well. Thanks Ann Silvia this is great.
