Media Center Lessons for 10/15-10/26

K and 1st Graders are learning about title pages in books.  What does an "author" do?  An "illustrator?"  What's a "publisher?"

2nd Graders are discovering how to use the online catalog's Visual Search to track down the books they want AND how to use a book's Call Number to find it on the shelf.  Can't have one without the other!

3rd Graders are learning the two-step process of using the online catalog (Destiny) to identify nonfiction books AND then using a book's Call Number to locate it on the shelf. 

4th Graders are being introduced to Literature Genres ~ Traditional Literature, Historical Fiction, Science Fiction, etc.  How can the online catalog lead them to just what they need to meet their reading goals?

5th Graders are learning about the pitfalls of bogus websites and trying to wade through TOO MUCH information on the internet.  The solution?  Use the Cobb Virtual Library!
