I accessed the Dictionary of American History.  I am talking about George Washington with my students this week and next week we will look at American Symbols - so I selected the Washington Monument.  I learned a lot about the monument that I didn't know and am excited to share it with my students.  I also will search other American Symbols to gather information.
I learned that oysters are high in zinc.  Other foods that have zinc are pure maple syrup, beef, chicken, turkey, milk, cheese, and yogurt.  I like the "read to me" feature because it doesn't sound robotic.  You can select the part you want read or listen to the whole article.
