Review of Collection-Plants

I rated this collection 5 stars for several reasons. The first reason is that, I found the articles were chosen wisely. I feel this way because I really like the titles, they sound interesting and appealing to young readers. Children's first impression of a text is the title. The title can either cause a student to stop and take a second look or browse on. The other reason I rated this collection 5 stars is because the resources provide the teacher with a variety of information. The articles provide information on plants (giving the teacher background knowledge on the topic) and also discusses assessment of this content knowledge. All in all, I feel this collection is helpful to both the teacher and students.
