Assignment Sheet – Public Library Fieldtrip

Public Library Fieldtrip – A.1.3

Fall 2010 G.A. Rachel's Prezi: "Public Library as Educational Partner"

Sample Map 

From the syllabus:

“Students will visit the public library to learn about the resources available to support their LS3013 course assignments. They will begin to learn the Dewey classification system and procure a library card so they can check out books and other resources for use in this course.”

The goal of this project is to increase your familiarity with the books and media resources available at the public library. You will need access to books and resources for class projects throughout the semester. While a school library may be your first choice for resources when you become a classroom teacher, the public library will also serve your needs. With evening and weekend hours and public librarians to serve you, the public library can be your community partner in teaching and in working with children and families.

You will complete this project any time before the due date and will receive 1.5 hours class time release in order to accomplish this project.
