Mrs. Holmquist's Scavenger Hunt

• An encyclopedia is a book or set of books that contains short articles that teach you about many different things (people, places, events, animals, plants, etc). 

• General encyclopedias contain some information about just about everything

• Special/subject encyclopedias contain more in-depth information about a single topic or concept (for example: we have an encyclopedia in the library that only has biographies of scientists!)

• A book that tells you words that mean the same thing to another word, also known as synonyms.

• Thesauri also sometimes tell you words that mean the opposite of another word, also known as antonyms.

• A book of maps. Can be a world atlas (which shows the whole world or a regional atlas (which shows a certain part of the world).

• Print atlases often include data, charts, and graphs about the area on the map.

Just like Google, but with reliable sources.
