10. Connection to local or state standards:

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.11-12.2.b

the topic.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.11-12.6

in response to ongoing feedback, including new arguments or information.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.11-12.7
Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated
question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources
on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.














11. Library lesson:
(Indicate step by step activity done in the library/classroom/computer lab that the LMS will be
teaching/facilitating)

*Classroom teacher will be in the room during the lesson helping to scaffold, support, and monitor
behavior.

1. Students will be guided to the conference room for our citation lesson.
2. Students will take the graphic organizer for the lesson and write their name on it.
3. Teacher will ensure that students sit near the front of the room.
4. LMS will start to talk about the word citation and who has heard it before.
5. Using the example of Beyonc, LMS will share why citing sources is so important. We need
to give credit to those who have put in the work.
6. LMS will talk about the importance of career research and finding a career that will have
longevity. (examples of friends)
7. Then we will go to the promethean board. LMS will guide students to the Lib Guide that was
created for their project.
8. Students will help guide which pieces for the citation can be found where on the website.
9. LMS will flip between the website and word document to show students where to write the
corresponding information.
10. Students will complete their practice source card.
11. LMS will ask if there are any questions.
12. LMS will accompany class to the lab to help students research.
13. LMS will walk around with teacher to ensure all students are finding information and citing
their sources correctly.

12. Justification for choice of Instructional Strategies and Research Models (if used)

Graphic Organizer (Vocabulary)- With a variety of learning levels it is important to scaffold thinking for
students. Graphic organizers do this for the learner. It helps guide the thinking and ensures students are
focused on the main ideas of the assignment.

Promethean Board/Projector- Using technology not only increases engagement but it helps create a real
world connection that is useful for all students.

LibGuide- Lib Guides allow for students to have an aide during the research process and really help
students to ensure they are on the right track with their research. Students can also access this from
home.

13. Resources for Students (check all that apply):
Online subscription database(s) xWeb sites X Books
Reference Nonprint Periodicals/newspapers
Other (list):

14. List of resources/materials used in this lesson
Website-
Projector/Promethean-Used to display the websites
graphic organizer- For Citation
Power Point/ Prezi will be used to create final project.





15. Justification for Selection of Materials and Resources:

Due to our limited time for the lesson and limited time in summer school it was imperative that we
selected resources that students would be familiar with and would be easy to use. The graphic organizer is a
tool students have worked with in the past and help the varied abilities structure their thinking. Additionally,
using technology will help students with other real world skills they can enhance before they graduate high
school.



16. Assessment (indicate how assessment will be conducted to evaluate the achievement of
objectives - include instrument, rubrics etc.):


Lesson Assessment- Citation will be formatively assessed by the LMS and teacher using the graphic
organizer. We will look at students work to determine if students need further instruction before class comes
back to the library.

Unit Assessment- Power Points/ Prezis will be graded using a teacher created rubric for students final
assessment.

How to find the information to cite your Source correctly

Author: Always enter Last Name, then First Name of author. Some sources may not have an author.
Title of Page or Site: Write the full name of the websiteor web page. You are going to use 2 websites. Each
website is a source, so you will make 2 source cards.
Date of publication: This may not be listed on the page. If it is listed, it is usually on the bottom of the page.
If all you see is a year, just write the year of publication. Sometimes, this date is written as lase update.
Date accessed: This is the date YOU found the material. Web pages change often, so you must always list
the date you used it!
URL: This is the web link. Formal research does not require you to list this, but some teachers want this
information. Only list the URL if it is short. Example of a short URL: http://www.iseek.org/careers/education.html
Other Information: Use this area to write the name of the web page if at the top of the card, you listed the
web site.
