Oh fun, fun, fun! The featured Drama interactive for Skills Discoverer was "Do Your Own Shakespeare." How on Earth can people be so creative in designing these things??? And the smARTkids interactive for art was really packed with information too.
The Biographies entry I selected on Abraham Lincoln had numerous, brief paragraphs about Lincoln's life. It would serve as a great starting point for students, suggesting more specific matters of interest to pursue.
I like the uniform format of the Country Facts entries. It would help learners compare and contrast more easily. (Although the World Book feature that lets you compare two entries side by side is even more handy.)
The various Maps of the World options are great. The numerous historical maps are helpful, and I like the outline maps for use as a learning tool.
Good report, Gentle Reader. Also note that Maps of the World are searchable, so you can type "tornadoes" (for example) in the search box and get maps related to that topic.
