Teaching Information Literacy to High School Freshmen
Sabol, Elizabeth A.
Library Media Connection, v25 n4 p36-38 Jan 2007
In this article, the author describes how the tragedy of a fire at Shikellamy High School in Sunbury, Pennsylvania helped her, together with Ellen Boyer, Shikellamy High School Drama/Communication Arts teacher, light a fire under their students. They were able to launch the new Information Literacy curriculum with an 11 period introduction to the library. They designed a "Nonconformist" unit to introduce the new Information Literacy curriculum, The POWER Library, and the Big6 research method. The author believes that the Big6 provides an easy-to-demonstrate, easy-to-grasp information processing model for improving Information Literacy.
