Web site on Chicago
Aim:
Produce a digital library shelf on Chicago, with references geared toward
lst-5th grade, which, ideally, can be used simultaneously with children
functioning at different levels. References will contain historical,
geographic, with emphasis on neighborhoods. May include a teachers'
shelf and some references for older children. Correlate with Illinois
Learning Standards and CPS Standards, if possible.
Rationale:
Lack of materials for younger children re: Chicago. Want to start
with neighborhood as is of high interest level to students.
Want to allow kids, who may otherwise be unable, to explore the city
through the web.
