1.5 hours
In preparation for teaching a lesson, I went in today to observe Lisa teach the lesson to another group of students. The lesson is a key one to good librarianship: information literacy & citation.
The 7th grade is working on an I-search paper about careers. They have been provided a solid outline with what information should be within this paper. What the teachers have asked Lisa to contribute is not only quality print but quality online materials; they have also blocked time in the assignment for Lisa to teach students about information literacy as well as how to find & use the materials.
Quietly sitting in the corner of the room with the handout I scribbled pages of notes. Giggling to myself I realized I had more notes than if I had palnned the lesson myself. The challenge ahead of me is to not only teach the content the students need but do so in a way that pleases both the classroom teacher & Lisa.
I will teach the lesson on March13 – plenty of time to prepare!
