Library Research Assignments: Photocopyable Worksheets Across the Curriculum for High Schools

Front Cover
McFarland, Jan 1, 1995 - Reference - 181 pages
Frequent use of the school media center expands students' general knowledge and broadens their horizons. But how do overworked teachers and librarians create library research assignments for students that hone research and library skills, while developing writing skills and reinforcing the overall curriculum? This book might be the answer.
The work is divided into eight parts (research skills, American history, the arts, creative writing, geography, language arts, science, and world history), each of which provides proven research assignments designed to harmonize with classroom activities while teaching students vital library skills. In each part there are cultural literacy activities based on the core knowledge of the students, and designed to help them communicate better. A concluding section lists suggested research paper topics.
