Introductory lesson plans for learning to use the typical school library act as templates adaptable to any subject area. Classes form detective agencies, adopt spy names, and sleuth for clues to where information resides in library resources.
Intended as a fun additional component to insert in traditional lesson plans, the skills required to complete these exercises increase student information vocabularies, and taps into and relies upon student motivation, multiple intelligences and different learning styles, and social cognitive awareness. These Information skills applications are designed to adapt to almost any subject area. Topics are assigned by teachers in any subject area or selected by students, then plugged-in to the template. Repetition of the lesson plan with different teachers in different subject areas will help demonstrate to students the power and flexibility of strong library research skills.
