Description

This "Cut 'n Clip" series learning tool is designed to please students, encourage learning and build library research skills with 280 ready-made bookmarks that can be used in the school library media centre, the classroom, the public library or at home. These reproducible bookmarks cover topics ranging from art (eg, finger puppet patterns) and music (eg, biographies of composers) to maths (eg, metric chart), science (eg, insect identification), and social studies (eg, members of the US Supreme Court). Each bookmark includes a question or instructions to motivate students to read more or search for further information. Suggestions or clues direct student research in such sources as dictionaries, almanacs, biographical reference sources, encyclopaedias, and guides. Use the backs for bibliographies, assignments, thank-you notes, parent messages and more. This is a full learning tool.
