Some General Resources
Check out the UNIS Library Catalogue to find books and other print media that are available fro you to check out in the Library. You can also visit our UNIS Online Elementary Resources, for a list of databases (ex. online encyclopedias) that the school subscribes to. Your UNIS Hanoi username and password is required so you can see these resources in the school portal.
Kids' News Sites
Another handy resource is Newsround. Newsround is an English language kids' newspaper. If you use the search feature you will probably be able to access articles written for kids about your issue. Remember it is a British resource so use British spelling in your keyword searches (e.g. 'child labour'). Another great kids' newspaper is Time for Kids this is from the U.S.A so this time use American spelling to search (e.g. 'child labor') Behind The News is an Australian current affairs show.
