LI challenge 1a3

I apologise in advance if I offend anybody, but the naked mole rat, will call him Doug (DUG- again sorry) has captured my attention and I am sticking with him in this assignment as well. :) When I got to Worldbook Advanced I remembered Doug was from Eastern Africa. Since I am not familiar with all the countries of Africa I went to the atlas link on the right side of the page and then located eastern Africa, and from there the country of Mozambique.

There was plenty of additional information besides the lengthy article the link directed me to. Patrons doing a report on this country could find specific information on the flag, traditional music, history, goverment, the economy, climate and much more without being bogged down with information they didn't need. I especially liked the pictures of the country. Too bad Doug only sees it from the underside.

Patrons are also able to print by the category they need instead of printing the whole article which can save time and paper and alleviate the hastle of having to sort through unwanted information.

  1. I love how you went about this, busymom! I don't know where African countries are, either, and you modeled how to figure that out! Thanks!
