[LM_NET] TAR: curriculum for 7-12 library

[Kim M <kimberleym_2000@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello,
   
  I am working on writing an information literacy curriculum for the private school 
library I am in. It pains me to see that kids do not even know the difference 
between fiction and nonfiction! Let's not even get started on the concept of 
research! 
   
  I want to start in middle school 7-8 and right now I have a library class on a 
trimester basis once a week. So much to cover and only 8 weeks to cover it if I am 
lucky- many times it gets cancelled due to games and such. 
   
  Oh where to begin...?
   
  Anyone have a short curriculum they can share? We only have 3 weeks left of 
school so this is obviously for next year. 
   
  Thank you,
  kim
