How to Use This Pack

Pages 1 and 2 are web pages drawn as they look on screen, with their search box, menu, links and sidebar; the questions ask which of them to use. Pages 3 to 5 pair a short text with a map of an animal's long trip. Page 6 asks about search tools in general.

In the Classroom

Before page 1, show a real animal web page on the board and point out the search box, the menu, a link and the sidebar. After the map pages, have children trace each route with a finger and say which way the animal goes and why.

At Home

Search for an animal together. Ask your child which key words to type, which link to click and why.

Tips for Success

  • Key words are the few words that tell what you are looking for
  • Links take you to another page about a word
  • A sidebar holds related pages
  • A map shows where things are and which way they go
