  2. Unit Summary Students will learn the differences and similarities of various informational resources and how to apply them to their everyday lives. Through group and individual participation students will create presentations and demonstrate their understanding of the best resources to use to locate information.

  3. Curriculum-Framing Questions • Essential Question Where is it? • Unit QuestionsWhere do you find the information? • Content Questions • What kind of information can be found using a dictionary, thesaurus, almanac, atlas, encyclopedia, website, trade book, journal, and textbook? • Can an online source or a book be used effectively in locating information? • How do I know what is the best resource to use to find information? • What are the similarities and differences between the various informational resources?

  4. Where Do I Find It Project This project will help my students develop 21st century skills by: • Collaborating with peers. • Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge • Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations and create new knowledge • Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society • Pursue personal and aesthetic growth

  5. Gauging Student Needs Assessment • Purpose of the Assessment • To gather information about what students already know and what they need to know about informational resources. • What I want to learn from my students? • I want to find out what they already know about the Unit Questions and what they know about information resources • How I have tried to promote higher-order thinking? • I ask students to find relationships and draw conclusions about various informational resources. • How the assessment information helps me and my students plan for upcoming activities in the unit? • If students have misconceptions about various informational resources, I can provide scaffolds. If students have different levels of understanding about informational resources, I can provide various resources. We will revisit this assessment throughout the unit for students to add their knowledge. • What feedback or additional ideas I’d like? • I would like help on my student activities. I think I need to elicit more higher-order thinking, but I’m not sure how.

  6. My Goals for the Course • Find ways to get my students more interested in learning about all the various information resources • Learn about different kinds of technology my students and I can use • Share ideas with other teachers

  7. Goals for My Students • To learn about all the various informational resources. • To become more independent learners and gain knowledge about what is the best informational resource to use that is available online and in books.

  8. Requests for Feedback • Locate additional technology available for student use • Create engaging lessons and activities that targets the needs of diverse 21st century learners
