Welcome to Cincinnati Name: Martha Bonvillain School: Mount Notre Dame High School Workshop Location: Bradford Media Center at Kings Mills High School Title of Companion Action Plan: Welcome to Cincinnati Grade Level: 9 Subject: Our City Specific Topic: Cincinnati CONTENT INFORMATION Brief Summary: Our students reside mostly in the newest suburbs that are very far from the city of Cincinnati. Many students have rarely been in the city and have used few of its attractions. Although the Global Perspectives class focuses on the world, the teacher and the library media specialist agreed that the students need to know their own city. The assignment is to create brochures to entice people and businesses to come to Cincinnati. One can be directed toward businesses, one toward tourists, and one toward families moving into the greater Cincinnati region. The databases and websites are all available at Mount Notre Dame High School Library Media Center, and the books are in the print collection. Obviously the titles used will vary with each library.
