Dear LM_NET members, I know that there is someone out there who has planned cooperatively with t= heir science department to produce a well-planned science fair research exp= erience in the library. We run into so many problems. I was hoping you = all might have some suggestions. =20 First, some background...this is how it is organized now. I have a large nu= mber of science fair project books that each teacher checks out and takes t= o her room. Students(7th and 8th) choose a topic and then fill out a resea= rch =22plan of action=22 form listing key words and places to search in the= library. This is checked by me and is their =22ticket=22 to use the comput= er. Sounds good...but then, we have students who don't find a topic and st= udents who do have a topic who do not want to research. Plus, we will have = a student who picks a topic that is WAY over his head...and impossible to r= esearch. They ruin the experience for all students. I liked the idea the l= ady had the other day about the teacher taking those who don't want to res= earch back to the room and leaving those who are =22on task=22 in the libra= ry. =20 Also, how do you deal with the kids using the books and then the next class= comes in and can't find the book because the student left on table, miss s= helved it, hid it, etc. I have tried the idea of putting the books back o= n a cart but they get out of order that way too, and I spend all my time lo= oking for books and not helping people find information. Frustrating=21 Our teachers are great and are willing to try anything; they are as frustra= ted as I. I want everyone to have a good experience using the library...no= t something they dread. =20 Thanks in Advance, Pat :-)=20 Cartersville City Schools, Cartersville, GA 30120 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To quit LM_NET (or set NOMAIL or DIGEST), Send an email message to: listserv@listserv.syr.edu In the message write either: 1) SIGNOFF LM_NET or 2) SET LM_NET NOMAIL or 3) SET LM_NET DIGEST For more help see LM_NET On The Web: http://ericir.syr.edu/lm_net/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
