I told you all I was new at this! I didn't know you could not attach a document in
the LISTSERV.
I appologize if you asked me to e-mail the attachment to you off line, but there
were so many this is the easiest way. Thanks for understanding.
It was suggested that I break it up into three documents because it is so long.
Here it is:
Eva,
Try Learn NC, a site designed by UNC. The website can be found at www.learnnc.org.
Click on Standard Course of Study which can be found on the right hand column and
then look for information skills for the particular grade you want. The archives
of LM_NET provide lots of good ideas for lessons, but not in lesson plan format.
Good luck!!
I think this site is very helpful-

Good luck!

Hi Eva,
This is my first year, too, and I know exactly what you're talking about. My
district has nicely defined media outcomes so that I at least know what I'm
supposed to cover but how to do it is left up to me! A good resource for me has
been Carolyn Garner's Teaching Library Media Skills in Grades K-6. It lays out
library objectives for the year, with plans and reproducible activities (on CD-ROM)
to be used with the plans. It cost $55 but the peace of mind has defnitely been
worth it as I try to get myself organized for the year. I bought it for myself
from Amazon but you might see if your district has it or will purchase it for you.
The ISBN is 1-55570-464-6.
Good luck this year!

We use Power Point to teach many information technology and library skills
lessons. We have no chalkboard or whiteboard, so the Destination computer
is the best display I have. And a visual lesson helps focus the students,
so we use Power Point Jeopardy, Millionaire and slide shows to introduce
and reinforce lessons.
***
I have made a Power Point on using the Big 6. I love using PP to introduce
skills. Kids like to watch them --versus you talking in front of
them-----just so much more powerful.
***
I created a short, simple PP presentation to explain to my 2nd graders the
concepts of title, author, and subject. Then I "shifted" our patron
catalog page onto the screen to show them how to use these terms to search
our catalog.
***
I use Powerpoint to introduce intro lit. concepts to 5-8th graders. For
instance, I have a ppt presentation to introduce plagiarism and then we do
a project on paraphrasing, summarizing, etc.
This is followed, of course, by hands-on activities which are taught in a
computer lab. I introduce most of my research skills lessons with a ppt
presentation, using imbedded links for websites I want to show the kids. I
have ppt's on Presentation Skills, Search Strategies, Reference Resources,
and Evaluation of Sources. I don't spend a lot of time "jazzing up" the
ppt's - I just use them as a tool to easily screen the main points of the
lesson and provide easy links to important sites.
***
Since purchasing an lcd projector this past year, both the guidance counselor
and myself are trying to use more PowerPoint shows. We are a mostly low-
income school, so many of our students are not familiar with the program. I
prepared a slideshow to use when presenting the Big6 method to my 4th and 5th
grade students this year, and it went very well. Hopefully, I'll be able to
incorporate more next year.

How do I start developing lesson plans for next year?
I feel unsure where to start. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
Responses:
While the question was a two-parter, the bulk of the
responses focused on lesson planning. I have condensed
the responses as follows:
--Get into the library during the summer to get to
know the collection.
--Meet with teachers to see what their curriculum
plans are for the year (Lang Arts, Science and Social
Studies) and to find out what their specific needs
are. Try to integrate what you are doing in the
library with what is being taught in the classroom as
much as possible.
--Use the curriculum as a guide, but make decisions
based on what the kids now know and what you want them
to learn.
--Start out the year with lessons on library
orientation, procedures and book care.
--Plan the year using a long range plan (using a
spreadsheet or other organizational device, with
grades across the top in columns and the months along
the side in rows) which can be modified as the year
progresses.
--Plan lessons in units or on themes. Units can
include author studies, library location skills, using
--Many schools do mostly literature awareness in
grades K-3, with a gradual introduction of skills in
grade 3, to mostly skills in grades 4-5.

Eva,
I find Judy Freeman's Books Kids Will Sit Still For books to be extremely
helpful. The 1995 version (More Books...) is especially helpful because it
includes Curriculum by grade - Information Management Skills and Literature
Skills - and as you read through the beginning of the book - you will see
other lessons that you can fit into particular grades. It is also great to
have some tested read-alouds.
I am very much looking forward to her new book which will be out this
winter.
I used Phyllis Perry's books.
Read a chapter a week and do a lesson on the related
library skills.

Eva,
I have a complete set of lesson plans for grades K-5, geared for 30
minute library periods weekly. Down below I have pasted some samples of the
curriculum. Obviously, some of it doesn't make sense without the curriculum
sheets, lesson sheets, etc. However, it should give you a flavor for the
types of things we do at different grade levels. If you are interested in
seeing more, or in having some of the curriculum sheets, write me off list.
I am always willing to share.
