After
reading the nonfiction book, Having Our Say, students, using
both print and online resources available in the media center,
will relate the historical and cultural events of the assigned
decade to the lives of the Delany
sisters. Students will place these events on a timeline, which
will be presented in class. Each timeline must include 2
biographies, 5 historical events, and 4 cultural events which
need to include visual, literary and performing
arts.
Students will research in the library media center
after instruction by the library media specialist. The
instruction will include review of card catalog usage,
introduction to the reserved print materials, searching using
NetTrekker (a subscription search
engine for secondary students) and the content pathway on
Ebsco Hosts.
The student will be
graded on the timeline that is constructed and the performance
of the presentation. |
