Information Skills Lessons

[Brian Ralph <bralph@ZETA.ORG.AU>]

I have gained an agreement to take my new Year 7 students (7 classes)
for 1 class per week for 18 weeks and teach Information skills.
I have tried to integrate this with classroom lessons for the past 4
years but many teachers will not bring their classes to the library "
because they cannot control them there"
Now the Principal has agreed to make it mandatory and each Key
Learning Area will lose 2 lessons over the first semester giving me18
lessons per class between Feb and July.
I have plenty of activities involving cd-rom and Internet but as they
can only involve about half a class at a time and will need my
attention, I am looking for activities involving books that the
classroom teacher can supervise (ie not be too demanding of them).
WhileI have some ideas, I am hoping I can gain some more from list
members. Perhaps there is a book of lessons somebody can recommend.
Thanks
