[LM_NET] Target: guide to reference books

[Christina Paniccia <buffcat02@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello Colleagues,
I am in a middle school, and am currently teaching 6th grade students. I am going 
to be discussing with the students the different books they use to do research. So 
far, I am going to be discussing almanacs, atlases, encyclopedias, dictionaries, 
thesaurus, non fiction books and fiction books. I am going to be giving the 
definition of each book, what they are used for, and examples of what can be found 
in the book. I am even thinking of distinguishing between the dictionary and 
thesaurus and between an almanac and encyclopedia. 

I am curious as to what everyone uses when they teach these resources. Do you have 
a chart or a worksheet that you pass out to the students to help them see the 
differences of each book? Or is there a web link that I can use to guide students? 
Please respond to me personally, and if there is enough interest, I can post a 
hit.. Thanks for you help!
