Banned Books Week
|
September 27–October 4, 2008 Closing Books Closes Possibilities! Celebrate the freedom to READ and checkout a challenged book; see what all the fuss is about! Some of our shelves most beloved tales appear on the very long list of forbidden books. The only thing dangerous about books, is not reading them. We need to protect our Intellectual Freedom and always remember that Free People Read Freely! |

Research Models
|
Students Made Reading A Hobbit! Grade 6 students conducted Creature_Research by using an Online Research Model to learn more about Tolkien's characters and have a better understanding of the novel The Fellowship of the Ring. Guidebooks on each character were created. The students did such a fabulous job that a literacy event was planned for our school community and their families. Click here to view a short documentary of the project. Research_Models are lessons conducted with the Library Media Specialist and Content Area Teacher. These self-guided online lessons promote inquiry-based learning and allow students to research using a variety of electronic and print resources in the library. |
