Information Literacy Lesson Plan MLS 5050 – Moss   CREATING A WEBLOG AND UNDERSTANDING THE ETHICAL, RESPONSIBLE POSTING OF INFORMATION ONLINE  PLAN:  This plan is designed for use by 12th grade students in a Language Arts Class, using the “Pathways to Knowledge” Information Literacy Model. The plan will evolve over two weeks, so coordination with the school’s computer lab over seer or librarian is needed in order to keep the proper schedule for computer use. The students will have previously read Shakespeare’s play, //Macbeth//.   <span style="COLOR: #e36c0a; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt">STANDARDS AND/OR GOALS: <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold">Tennessee State Standards 4* and 8 are incorporated, as is the refreshed edition of the National Educational Technology Standards for Students: The Next Generation (NETS-S) was released this past July (2007). These updated standards emphasize "what students should know and be able to do with technology to learn effectively and live productively in an increasingly digital world"--

1) Creativity and Innovation; 2) Communication and Collaboration; 3) Research & Information Fluency; 4) Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving & Decision-Making; 5) Digital Citizenship; and 6) Technology Operations and Concepts.

<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic">*As effective researchers, students will have the ability to frame, analyze, and solve problems, while building on and evaluating the credibility of existing research and incorporate materials into their original work, at the same time, giving appropriate credit to sources (Standard 4-Research). <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic">Educated members of adult society gain knowledge of themselves and others through <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic">the study of literature, thus becoming critical readers and lifelong members of literacy <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic">communities ( <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold">Standard 8-Literature).

Whether gifted or not the students’ creativity is at hand as they make their own choices for page designs, and with whom they want to communicate. It also allows non-traditional (i.e., ELL), students a chance to emphasize their specialty areas. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt"> <span style="COLOR: #e36c0a; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt">ASSESSMENT: <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt">Assessment will be via the quantity and quality of postings to the site, including a last post to summarize the play //[Macbeth]//; b) a final posting expressing the relativity of and the preparation of the site project; and c) inclusion of referenced websites.

I have personally conducted the plan with my three 3rd Period student workers, while reading only the first three scenes in Act I. This went very well, since these students are very astute, and I essentially gave them one-on-one attention. I think that class “experts” might need to be called upon to assist, in reality. Overall, I believe this plan is a powerful tool, because it fosters an information literate person who— <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt"> accesses information efficiently and effectively; <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt"> evaluates information critically and competently; and <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt"> uses information accurately and creatively (AASL and AECT 1998) per Cassell and <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt">Hiremath (2006).
