A Great Swamp in Georgia
A swamp is an area of soggy land One of the largest swampy
areas in North america is the Okefenokee Swamp. These wetlands
are mostly in georgia. A great variety of birdses live here. Frogs
snakes, and alligators are also common. Lawmakers made this area
the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in 1937. This meant that
people could not build roads railroads farms or cities here.
I want to write a book called beauty in the swamp. I told my
dad. He asked, Do you really think Alligators are beautiful?
The alligators are part of a beautiful world, I answered.
My father smiled when I said that. I feel the same way about snakes
frogs and turtles. TheyÕre all part of a wild and beautiful world.

You can use a computer to write stories and reports that look neat and do
not have errors.
• Open a file for your story or report. Give it a file name that tells
what it is about: for example, .Z3FQPSUPO1FOHVJOT.
• Type your first draft. Work at learning to use both hands and all ten
fingers to type.
• Check your first draft by reading it aloud to yourself quietly.
Whenever you come to something that looks wrong or sounds
confusing, stop. Check to see if you need to make a correction. Then
continue reading. When you finish, you will have a revised draft.
• Use the spell check feature to check your revised draft. Fix any
mistakes. Now you have your final draft.
• Print out a copy of your final draft to hand in. Then save this final
draft on your desktop or in a special file. Ask your teacher, parent,
or caregiver to help you do this.

You can use online dictionaries and thesauruses to find out about
the meanings and uses of words. You can use online encyclopedias to
find information on topics you want to learn about. You can also find
information on a topic by doing an *OUFSOFUTFBSDI.
• Think of key words that tell what you are looking for. For example,
if you need information on animals that live in the rain forest, you
might use the key words SBJOGPSFTUBOJNBMT. Type these words into
the text box of the search engine.
• The search engine will give you links to the Web sites. You can click
on a link to go to a Web site.
• When you get to the Web site, you need to judge whether it will
be a good source of information. One way to tell if a Web site has
accurate information is to look at who put up the site. If you see the
name of a trusted organization, such as a museum, a library, or a
United States agency, you can tell that it is probably a good source.
