Students will be asked: “What would you do if you wanted
to find out whether or not our library had a particular item? Scoring Guidelines: There is no formal scoring for this pre-assessment. If all students respond in detail how to use the OPAC, the post-assessment will be explained and students will complete the specified task. Post-Assessment: Students will be paired off and given an author’s name to look up in the OPAC. Each pair will locate materials pertaining to that author and add the items to their book bag. The book bag will be printed and turned in for credit. Scoring Guidelines: S= Task completed as assigned. U= Task not attempted.
demonstrate how to access the online catalog.
Students who have difficulty navigating the catalog will work one on one with either the library media specialist or classroom teacher. If needed, extra time will be arranged to work on the task. Students who demonstrate mastery of this skill may use extra time to look up topics of their choice. Extension Students will use the knowledge gained through this lesson when the research project is assigned. The skills learned here will also apply when using public or other library catalogs.
Students will access the library catalog from home and report back their findings. Adjustments to this activity may be necessary if there is no computer with Internet access at home. Extra credit may be offered if the student completes the assignment with an elementary school age or above sibling or parent. A note signed by a parent would be required for the extra credit.
Students will use the knowledge gained through this lesson when other research units are assigned in other classes.
