Library Lessons Have Started!

The first set of Library Lessons has started!

 

Once a month, students come in from their study halls to participate in Library and research related lessons. Though these lessons mean that students will lose a study hall, their ability to successfully complete their school work will improve.

 

Last week the 7th graders came in to learn about the Dewey Decimal System that included a refresher on use of the OPAC. 

 

This week the 8th graders will be in to learn how to work productively in groups and how to choose projects that best fit their strengths.  The topics covered include;

 Dealing with fears of working in groups

What to expect when working in a group

How to Work in a Group

How to Divide Tasks

 

Next month the 7th graders are scheduled for the week of November 3rd and the 8th graders are scheduled for the week of November 10th.  Both groups will be reviewing the Big 6 Research Skills.
