ELEM: Media Lessons - HELP!

[Patricia Hamilton <ForLfKlovr@AOL.COM>]

Help!  I am new to the media center - after teaching in the classroom for 6
years.  I love my new job - but am finding that developing lessons is proving
to be more difficult than when I was in the classroom.

#1 - Would anyone be willing to share a "timeline" of activities, things that
you do with or things that you cover with each grade level?

#2 - I would love to incorporate what is going on in the classroom with
library lessons.  I often use the pacing guides or ask the teachers directly
- but how do you use that information?  For example, in fourth grade they are
studying plants.  So, I wrote questions about plants using the encyclopedia.
The students were asked to find the answers to those questions using the
encyclopedia.

But, what else?  I want to make the time in the library a meaningful
experience for the students.  Any ideas would be extremely valuable!

Thank you!
