How will you communicate your plan to your school community?
I will attach a copy of my plan to an e-mail and send it to the faculty and staff. In the e-mail I will also let them know that information about the plan is available on the library website as well.
Each week before research is done by various grade levels, I will create a newsletter using Pages informing the faculty and staff what learning will take place in the library that week.
I will display examples of note-taking, graphic organizers and research products on the wall outside of the library.
