GVRL - a wealth of information and I had difficulties to stay on task. I went to "Title List" and selected Dictionary of American History, 2003 - choose a volume - publication - topic overview on Aachen, page(s): 1. Word Count: 209. Synopsis: Aachen: An important, if costly, symbolic victory for the Allies dujring WWII, Aachen was the first German city captured and held by Allien troops. Sitting along a system of German defensive works... etc., etc., I viewed the complete text and it was very interested reading.
At the Home page I typed in "Zinc" and really couldn't find nothing. I searched under medical, food, and more and it was easier to google to find the answer. I know this was not the exercise I should do, but my timeframe was / and is short. To stay healthy your body needs zinc, like: Spinach, fish, Seeds: Watermelon-flax-pumpkin-squash-, turkey, brown rice and more.
Back to the home-page, search box and typed in: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Work overview - full text: so much information and I will quote only the Synopsis: It's a literary work and the novel set in St. Petersburg, Missouri, about 1840; published in 1885. -A boy and a slave flee their hometown, heading down the Mississippi River toward the Ohio River and freedom. For more information you can enjoy 3 more pages - what I did. Plenty of material for the student to finish his project. I really enjoyed the GVRL site there is so much to explore.....
Yes, sometimes it is easier to Google the info (like the zinc question). Many times, students need to have sources to quote or one needs more info--one of the articles with the zinc info is in the Nursing and Allied Health title.
