GENRE BREAKOUT BOXES!

Pretend you want to find a survival book, but there’s no icon for it in the Dawes Catalog, so what do you do?  USE KEY WORDS. 

Think about the types of events a main character would have to survive in a survival book.  In other words, what act of nature might the main character be up against?  Use two key words (hint:  one of them is survival) to search the catalog and show me the survival books that came up on your screen,  

Keyword Breakout Box

Go to P9RL  – click on Gale Collection then scroll down to US History in Context and use the term you just wrote on paper.

Sort the magazine articles by date.  What country is mentioned in the first three articles?  

Look up that country in the Dawes catalog.  Get a blacklight from Banwell and go to that area in the nonfiction side (use the call numbers) to find your next task.   Return light to Banwell.
