Information+Literacy+Model+Demonstrations

** Information Literacy Model Demonstrations ** ** Due November 2, 9, 16, 2010 ** There are a variety of Information Literacy Models available for a school district to use. One of the benefits of adopting an Information Literacy Model is the common language that will be used by all educators. This pattern of research is reinforced for students from year to year and subject to subject. We have chosen to demonstrate and model the Big 6 Model (www.big6.com). There are six components to the model we have chosen: #1 Task Definition #2 Information Seeking Strategies #3 Locate and Access Information #4 Use of Information #5 Synthesis #6 Evaluation Students will design a curricular unit made up of six lesson plans. There will be one lesson plan for each of the six steps. Please limit yourself to one teaching strategy for each of the steps. Students will work individually or in pairs on this assignment. You or your team will choose a curricular area or topic. Class nights have been designated to present each of the components: #1 & #2 November 2 #3 & #4 November 9 #5 & #6 November 16 Handouts of the lesson demonstrated should be distributed, using the Master Lesson Plan template provided below. At the end of the quarter, each student will have a variety of teaching strategies to use when working with an Information Literacy Model.
