Lesson 6: EBooks on Ebscohost

1. I chose to look up Catholicism as I am a new teacher in a Catholic School.  I was very interested in the book, Idiot's Complete Guide to Catholicism.  I read a few of the pages and found that this is the book I need.  I like the fact that we can actually read the real pages.  This helps to find the right book and it helps to make finding the information easier.  This is a good tool to use if the book you need is not in the local library when you need it.  

2. A few books I found are:  Illustrated Dictionary of Constitutional Concepts by Robet Maddex
- Bill of Rights by Thomas Lewis
- Colonies and Revolution by David King
- Complete Idiot's Guide to Presidents by Patrick Sauer
- Exploration in Cultural History by T.G. Ashplant.
I do not talk about Constitution Day with my preschoolers, so I am not sure if these books would help with this research or not.

3. I searched for Nebraska in the PB publisher for Western History and found 88 results.  Many of the articles are focused on the Native American cultures of the state and their history. The results also focused on baseball history and highlights in the state.  I would not have thought of either of these topics when I think about Nebraska, so this is an interesting search result.
