What is Literacy Special? Formerly known as Media Literacy, the Literacy Special will focus more on literature than technology in library class. In 3rd & 4th grade, students will work on various literature topics such as figurative language, literature elements, text structures and genres, author studies and poetry.
The last 15 minutes of class is dedicated to checking out books, working on exit tickets and cleaning up. During this time, students will also work on table activities.
Topics we will cover in the Media Center are:
- Google Classroom and Google Drive
- Strengthening Library Skills using the Dewey Decimal Classification
- How to use encyclopedias and dictionaries
- Literature enriched activities (text structures, genres, figurative language & literature elements)
- Using the media center's OPAC (Online Public Access Computer)
- Plagiarism
- Researching skills
- Financial Literacy
