Brochure Tasks

Update 10.28.14   Students will be provide a small amount of library time to complete select tasks by grade level.  However, any additional time spent on the project at school or home is encouraged. Students should login in to www.learning.com > Library Brochure.  Help your class maintain green level status in the library by submitting your assignment today.

*********************************************************************************

Library classes are creating a library brochure.  Student groups are meeting with Mrs. Williams to discuss the required grade level tasks.   Students will be meeting in groups to review the library procedures, a brochure tool, and the brochure rubric.  Teachers, please take a few minutes when students have access to a computer/other device to make sure students complete their grade level tasks. I am meeting with the class in 2 groups. There will be a two week window in which all students should have completed the assigned task(s). I recommend a group of students working on the task(s) as soon as possible after the group meeting in hopes of as much independence as possible.  Let me know of any challenges.
