I have a confession...
I've taught for 5 years and I have never explicitly taught the differences between a dictionary, thesaurus, encyclopedia, and an atlas...
I just assumed they always knew...
We use dictionaries all year...
and atlases...
and thesauruses...
and online encyclopedias...
So I thought they would know!
But they don't. I was shocked to see that my students struggled to identify the differences between the uses of each of these books.
So, I made this sort...
What do ya think?
