English Language Project
Here is a project we have developed on many aspects of the English Language. We greatly appreciate the help from LM_NET input. The project is intended as a culminating project for 12th graders. When the actual assignment is written up - I will post that as well. Meanwhile - here is the web page to go along with it.
Curriculum Mapping In The Library
This link will take you to a template I use in MS Word to create a map of each of our school's research projects. The template contains all the information literacy standards, plus the most frequently used materials, technology, essential questions etc. The template was designed to use as follows:
- Open the template
- Save the template under the name of the project you are mapping
- Delete everything that does not apply to the project
- Add anything that is unique to the project
I would recommend that you start with mapping only those projects that are for required courses and that every student takes. That way, you will know what information literacy standards EVERY student is taught. Next, map the projects for non-required courses such as Chemistry and Physics - courses that virtually all high schools offer - but not every student is required to take. Next map the projects done by elective courses. And last - if you want to - map the projects that are done by only a portion of a class. For instance - you may have 4 sections of American History, taught by 4 different teachers, but only 1 or 2 of the teachers does the "Roaring Twenties" project with their students.
