Library Media/Information Literacy (7-12)

• Adult Roles and Responsibilities
  This lesson is a collaboration between the library media specialist and a FACS teacher.
• Dewey Decimal Game
  This lesson is designed to help students understand the Dewey Decimal system. It is formatted as a competition between classes and can be carried out over a 5-6 week period as classes visit the library once a week.
• Library Orientation with Humanities Emphasis
  The LMT author has created an orientation to the high school library with an emphasis on materials related to the humanities. The idea is that the collaborating humanities teacher can use this lesson as a launch into a mini-research project.
• Library Orientation with Mystery & Suspense Emphasis
  The LMT author has created an orientation to the high school library with an emphasis on materials related to the genres of mystery, suspense and horror. The idea is that the collaborating English teacher can use this lesson as a launch into a mini-research project or book selection.
• Library Orientation with Mythology Emphasis
  The LMT author has created an orientation to the high school library with an emphasis on materials related to mythology. The idea is that the collaborating English teacher can use this lesson as a launch into a mini-research project.
• Library Treasure Hunt
  Teams of students conduct a treasure hunt in the high school library.
• Search for It!
  This activity is an effective teaching tool to reinforce research skills. This is a hands-on, interactive game that can also be used to reinforce concepts taught in other subject areas. I have used it with History, Health and Language arts reviews just by changing the challenge questions to correlate with the subject area of focus. You'll be surprised to see how effectively students learn with this fun, interactive approach.
• Shelving or Finding Books
  This activity will help students learn how to shelve or find books in the library.
