2. Using World Book Students I found a lot more information about the zebra, and the article was clearly written for an older audience than that on World Book Kids. This site would be better for my middle school and high school students.
3. Doing a search for Italy, I found a lot of information given at the World Book Advanced site. I noticed that when clicking on the article about Italy, on the right side of the screen there is a link to the South Dakota Content Standards that are covered using this article. I also notice that this site gives additional resources available about Italy, making this a very useful site for students who are beginning to do research.
4. World Book Discover offers the article in other languages such as Spanish and French. In addition, there is a feature to enable a reader to have the article read aloud.
