News : The Humane Society of the United States - 2 views

    This site offers articles about wild and domestic animals with videos, basic care info, fundraiser/how to help info as well as what is being done to help info. This would be helpful with the endangered species g4 project as well as general animal education or community outreach/awareness projects. Caution: It's very sad:(

    This site would be for upper middle school and higher students. It presents news stories in a Facebook like listing that you can click on and read the full article. It does present some controversial topics that may not be appropriate for younger readers.

    A neat website that allows you to create unique rhythms and sounds from a drag and drop menu. Experiment with different sound loops, choruses, and instrumental sounds to create your own unique sound loops. Each time you add a new sound a new person appears in the screen. Click a person to delete the sound he represents.
