The IMC was busy this week with various classes using computers and laptops. There was also book check-out for Miss Coppoletta's classes. They selected from the genres of mystery or horror.Next week looks to be equally busy. 6th grade science is signed up for computers on Monday. Then later in the week we will see the health classes on computers.
On Thursday I will give an introduction to research for the 8th grade Language Arts classes as they begin their persuasive speech unit. I have a lot of new books on controversial topics to show them as well as such online sources as Gale Virtual Reference Library, Middle Online Package, eLibrary, and a couple of websites that are very useful for debates. All of these online sources are linked to the Lakeview library webpage for easy access. Students will receive all the necessary login information so they can continue their research from any Internet computer. Also included in the research introduction is a review of how to collect bibliographic information from the various media to use in our online bibliography maker, NoodleBib.
