There are four major types of libraries:
1. Academic libraries serve colleges and universities.
2. Public libraries serve cities and towns of all types.
3. School libraries serve students from Kindergarten to grade 12.
4. Special libraries are in specialized environments, such as hospitals,
corporations, museums, the military, private businesses, and the
government.
These libraries may be either digital or physical in form.

❑ THE INTERNET:
HISTORY OF THE INTERNET
I think the internet will develop in the future in the following ways:
➢ It will become cheaper for people to use
➢ It will become much faster and information will be able to be
accessed more quickly
➢ More and more information will be added to it, which will make it
the worlds biggest technology resource
➢ It will continue to grow and as it becomes cheaper people in less
economically developed countries will gain access to it, further
developing their education and access to information
➢ Overall, the internet will become even more advanced in
technology, making it cheaper, faster and more widely accessed.

PERFORMANCE TASK: COOPERATIVE LEARNING
INTERVIEW ACTIVITY
Divide yourselves into groups with 3 - 4 members.
Each group will interview two elders coming from two families. You
will ask about cultural beliefs or practices in the community valued
by the elders. Students need to identify and gather information to
at least two cultural beliefs or practices.
Encode the information on a short bond paper, identify the source
of information.
Students will interview 10 classmates or schoolmates and find out if
these cultural beliefs or practices are still known and being valued
by their generation. (Example 3 out of 10…)
Submit it to the teacher via Edmodo not more than 2 weeks after it
was assigned. Indicate group # with members & section.
