We had a tremendously busy schedule in the LMC this week. In addition to high school research lessons leadership team meetings, and the day to day, all sixth, seventh, and eight grade classes came for book check outs. Since we were so swamped, one of my high school interns really stepped up when it came to helping some younger students select books. The middle school requires that all student book checkouts meet the following criteria: within a student's Lexile range, has a Reading Counts quiz, and of interest to the particular student. Oftentimes, finding a book that meets this criteria is difficult for students as many of our books do not have Reading Counts quizzes since we recently switched from Accelerated Reader. This is quite frustrating for our younger students who haven't yet developed their library skills. I almost teared up when I saw this sweet, sweet young man going above and beyond the call of duty. It makes me so proud and hopeful that there will be a future generation of librarians who care about their patrons as much as I do.
This week, I also began a GALILEO unit with Mrs. Newsome, the AP Literature teacher. I created a Google Slides presentation with specifics of why and how to use GALILEO and other research tools, allowed them time to research for their upcoming essay, and ended with a Google Challenge. Mrs. Newsome and I collaborate for this unit each year, and the presentation, timing, and requirements of the assignment change for each class of students she has. Below, I've attached the GALILEO lesson.
