Recenzii

For school media specialists looking for innovative ideas on how to collaborate with teachers to create a buzz around learning and literacy, this book is a must have.
The collaborative lesson plans and units compiled here have been classroom-tested by elementary through secondary media specialists and teachers who are winners of the Gale Library Media Connection TEAMS Award. Projects are presented in a consistent format, with a project overview, timeline, notes on the roles of the teacher and the media specialist, and advice on measuring success, funding the project, materials and resources, and sustaining the project. Projects range from an author's night for elementary grades, through high school units on using graphic novels with ESL students and advanced academic literacies. Numerous examples of surveys, parent letters, rubrics, student self-assessments, and other materials are provided.
This is a useful selection, especially for someone wanting to try a new collaboration, but coming up a little short on ideas. Recommended.
