Learning Goal Students will be able to recognize an assortment of reference sources (dictionary, almanac, encyclopedia, atlas, thesaurus).

Essential Question What are reference sources?

Objective Determine the best reference source to use for information.

Dictionary A dictionary is a book that gives pronunciations and definitions of words. The words are arranged alphabetically. The guide words at the top of each page show the first and last words on that page, so they will help you know if the word you want is on that page. The entry may also show synonyms and other forms of the word.

Almanac An almanac is published annually and has facts on many topics. Since the almanac is published every year the information is current. Almanacs contain important dates, weather, top news stories of the year, statistics on sports, facts about famous persons, world population figures, holidays, and other miscellaneous topics.

Encyclopedia An Encyclopedia is a set of books which contains short articles about many topics; animals, presidents, countries, people, plants, and so much more. The articles are summaries with basic facts and information. The volumes are arranged in alphabetical order. If you need to find information about porcupines you would look in the P volume. Then you would use the guide words at the top of the pages to find porcupines. Key words help you know which volume contains the article you want to read. When trying to find a person, use the last name- George Washington.

Atlas An Atlas is a book of maps, usually of the regions of the world. An atlas might contain both physical and political maps. Physical maps show the physical features of earth; mountains, bodies of water, deserts, plains, etc. Political maps show continents, countries and cities. To find a specific place in an atlas, the index is the best place to start. The index is at the back of the book and is arranged alphabetically. The table of contents, is at the front of the book and is arranged in sequential order. The atlas may also contain a map list.

Thesaurus A thesaurus is a book of words with their synonyms and antonyms. Words are listed alphabetically. Use a thesaurus when you want to replace a word with a word of similar meaning.
