 * RLS 514: Teaching Research to Children and Adolescents **

** Summer 2011 **

** Information Literacy Model Demonstrations ** ** Due August 3, 2011 **

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. Select a research model for this exercise. It might be the one your district already uses, or of your district doesn’t have a model formally adopted, one you would suggest.

Students will design a curricular unit made up of lesson plans for each of the steps of the model. Please have a minimum of 6 lessons. (If your model has lass than six steps, please double up on some of the steps. If it has six steps, please create a lesson plan for each step.) Please limit yourself to one teaching strategy for each of the lessons. The lesson plan does not need to be extensive. You are free to select any curricular area or topic and grade level.

You will give a presentation to the class on August 3 that will include an **overview of your unit** and the **specifics of one of the lessons**. Your demonstration should be no more than 10 minutes including time for questions. Please have copies of your lesson plans for your classmates. Copies of any tools you would use would be helpful. In this way, at the end of the course, each student will have a variety of teaching strategies to use when working with an Information Literacy Model.
