 * Lesson Planning:**

During this unit we have developed a wide variety of information literacy skills. We have learned how to read a URL, conduct advanced and Boolean searches, evaluated websites, and to apply copyright guidelines safely and legally.

The final lesson in the unit will be to create a lesson plan based on one of these subject areas that can be used with students in different grade levels. You will be collaborating with a partner to develop the lesson plan using the CSD lesson plan format or one containing similar criteria.

You will partner with one other library media specialist in the district. Please contact someone that you feel you can work well with on this project. Please contact me if you have any problems locating a partner.
