A 5th grade teacher has reportedly asked my aide to have added to our library "a set of books about the presidents." My feeling is that we already have a fair number of books about the presidents, they are well-represented in print encyclopedias, PLUS online information is easy to find. Nevertheless, do YOU have a set of books about the presidents? Which publisher/date? My further feeling is that the "set" is desired to make it easier to not have to help each student through a more realistic research process. Same grade level wants me to purchase a set of books about the states for their reports about the states. Yes, I know this is my role - to collaborate with teacher, teach authentic research process, use variety of sources available. I'm trying...but I haven't made many in-roads yet. Do I buy the sets hoping that the purchase facilitates a move toward collaborative approach to these projects? Your thoughts? .-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+ Marcia Dressel, K-5 Librarian @ the Elementary and Intermediate Schools Osceola, WI dressel@osceola.k12.wi.us <mailto:dressel@osceola.k12.wi.us> .-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
