Indicators are arranged by grade level and note when information literacy skills are to be introduced, reinforced, and mastered. The following are essential guides in planning your library media instructional program and collaborating with teachers. It is suggested that you print the outlines by grade level for your own purposes. Also, share with teachers the outline specific to their grade level so that they know what information literacy skills you will be teaching to their classes."

Collaborative Lessons
• 6th Grade Biography Unit LMT teamed with 6th grade English teachers and redesigned the 6th grade Biography Unit to make it more exciting and dynamic! Rather than sitting through another biography report about Babe Ruth or Harriet Tubman they decided to take a different slant. Where the kid would choose a FICTION book, read it, then create a brochure with biographical information about the AUTHOR!
Book Reviews (by students)
Each year in the spring, I do a fun activity with my 5th graders, the oldest students in the building. I preface the activity by telling them that, after 6 years in the school, they are the resident "experts" on the library. They, of all students, know what is in the collection. So I tell them that I need some help. I collect a variety of examples of "ugly" books from the collection. Some are classics that need to be replaced, some are old crusty books that haven't circulated in a long time and that probably need to be weeded, etc. Then I assign them an ugly book review to do. Because I see students only 20-30 min/week (including checkout time), I kept the review form very, very simple.
My goals are: 1) to encourage students to stretch a bit and read something that they normally wouldn't choose to pick up (most of the time they like the book they read), and 2) to locate books that either need to be replaced or weeded.
Some of my ELA teachers work with me and embrace this activity as part of their curriculum...some don't. One of the 5th grade teachers has her students do audio or video reviews of their book, which is great! It's a fun activity for the students at any rate--some of them want to do 2-3 book reviews!

Ugly Book Report
• iBookTalks - We were inspired by Nancy Keane's BookTalks Quick and Simple 4th grade projects were Extended Learning opportunities. Each year 3rd and 4th graders have the opportunity to listen to their own selection of iBookTalks on laptops using headphones as part of their Media Center time.

Information Literacy Lessons
• Credible Sources Count--- an excellent tutorial for students to help them critically analyze websites.
• Dewey Decimal Raps Students used Wordle to illustrate DDC categories. We wrote a rap for each 100s series, which students recorded using Garage Band. I then put the images and audio together to make a QuickTime movie. The students absolutely love these and watch them over and over, even at home. Parents have told me they hear their students singing the rap to themselves.
• Online Safety Rap Our students love NetSmartzkids.org. I noticed that lyrics were included so I contacted NetSmartz and asked if we could record our own raps using copyright friendly music and our own illustrations. We used Soundzabound (a subscription service), PhotoBooth and GarageBand. The kids loved taking their own distorted pictures with PhotoBooth and recording the raps. They go to our web page to watch them on their home computers. (Kathy Kaldenberg, Solon Community School District)
• Looking at Researchable Questions
Library Games (used in computer centers)
• Order in the Library 4.0 Play games to learn how to sort books in the library AND earn a Library Assistant certificate!
• Interactive Quizzes - Library Science Activities for grades K-5 by Tami Maloney
• Study Stack . Here is my Library Word Wall Scramble, with wooden scrabble tiles! Even reluctant students have asked me if we can "do that scrabble game" again. We have also used Study Stack files to download onto iPod Touches into the TouchCards app, and students can review the words as flashcards. You can also do matching, crosswords, hangman, and bug chase. I project this onto my SmartBoard and kids go up to the board to move the letter tiles around, but it could be used at computer centers.

(He even responded with feedback when we sent him this link). Students used GarageBand to create an enhanced podcast with images and audio. We have used these with other students during National Poetry Month. Copyright friendly resources were used.
