Many people tell stories of Giant Octopus or Squid, but I want to find out more about these “deadly” creatures and what they do. Ever since I was small, I thought how do they do all those cool things? Well, this search helped me find that information!!!!!!!! —MikeOctopus (Orchard Hill Elementary School)

A fifth-grader posts a diary about using the internet to search for information on octopodes.

I would suggest that he post links to the exact pages where he found his information, and post those links right inside the text of his report, rather than wait for the “Works Cited” section. Otherwise, good job, Mike!

Thanks for the suggestion, Rosemary.
