Digital Media Features for January
Welcome students back to school with an investigation of New Years' and holiday traditions around the world. Use CultureGrams to investigate these traditions by checking out the Holidays section of each country's page (a subsection of Lifestyles). Check out ProQuest's Share This! blog for an overview of some fun New Year's traditions.
Inauguration Day is coming right up. Get students researching with articles from World Book Advanced about the U.S. Presidency, or have them check out SIRS Discoverer's resources about the history of U.S. presidential inaugurations.
If you need help finding more resources for your students from the Digital Media Center tools, please contact me. I'm glad to help!
