Barbara Braxton and other Australian librarians....

[Jean Townes <townesj@PEAK.ORG>]

I am buying materials for an all school study of world habitats next year.
One of the habitats that a class (it will probably be a primary class)
will be studying is coral reefs.  I'm
seeing this as focusing on the Great Barrier Reef with extensions into
Australia.  I can find general information about coral reefs but not much
specifically on the Great Barrier Reef.  And I would really like to find
some teacher materials--the kind of stuff that has reproducibles, and
lesson ideas.  I bet this is available for Australian teachers.  I just
can't find it here.

So can you recommend some titles of a few factual books at an elementary
level to add to what I already have?  And can you tell me about some
teacher lesson booklets?  And last can you suggest where I might be able
to buy them from?  When I needed some materials on New Zealand for a
similar international studies project, librarians in New Zealand were able
to point me to a bookstore that was very helpful and I successfully
purchased what we needed.

I don't have a lot of money left at this point.  I didn't think of making
the request here until recently.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
