Create
Step Six: Teach!
It’s time to teach your lessons. Before you do so, make sure expectations are clear between you and your collaborator. Will both of you be in the library? Classroom? What will each person be doing during the learning activities? Who will be assessing student work, or will you be doing that together?
If you are working on a multiple-lesson plan, be sure to check in between lessons to make sure things are on track and make any adjustments necessary.
Remember that this is a learning journey for you as well as your learners. Keep a growth mindset!
Share
In the Module 5 forum, add to the discussion around the following prompts. Do not create a new thread, but rather continue the discussion your classmates have started. You may still reply to a specific classmate.
- Name three ways that library staff can work with youth to cultivate their voices and express their agency. Think creatively and boldly.
In the Resource forum, share the item you explored from the Think and then reflect on your choice by answering three of the following questions. Then, respond to three of your classmates:
- How has my prior experience and personal values influenced my understanding of this topic?
- What are other theories of this topic that might provide me with a different viewpoint?
- How could my education colleagues support me or collaborate with me in learning more about this topic?
- What new information did I learn? What questions do I have?
- How could I apply this information to my practice?
- If you disagree with the information presented, how so? Why?
- What opportunities / challenges could this information lead to?
Respond to three or more of your classmates in either discussion forum.
Optionally, use the Collaboration Help forum as needed to share ideas and questions with your classmates.
