**Rationale:** Our goal is for George Jackson Academy’s fourth graders to learn useful navigation strategies while also focusing on the types of books they like to read. //(Prof’s Notes to be deleted:)// How did you develop this idea? We wanted the curriculum to be in-line with the George Jackson Academy Library’s longer term mission to foster and develop a love of reading and improve their critical thinking and communication skills and then, made the choice of structuring the lesson around search for images. Consistent with Barbara Kenny’s problem based learning approach, we also decided to have the boys choose images that express their own subject matter tastes in books. As Kenney states it is important to design “an instruction plan that relies on defined goals and objectives based on a problem that capture student interests”. Similarly we subscribe to Braun’s idea in “C’est La Vie”* that when interested in a specific topic, “instead of performing cursory searches for information”, students will be motivated to “actually dig deep to uncover a wide-variety of information on the topic”. //(Prof’s Notes to be deleted:)// How does it fit in to the larger picture of the library environment in which it is set? Since the library is not equipped to allow all of the boys to be seated at once at computers within the current library setting, we think use of the 4th grade classroom can be arranged. The boys can then sit in groups, share and take turns with their searches. While doing searches and trying to decide on images to search for use in creating a collage they will talk to each other about their book interests and why they are choosing a particular picture to express them. We think this will help them cultivate a deeper interest in reading for personal pleasure but also engender it more widely within the culture of the school. 

**Step 2: Writing your Lesson Plan**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The lesson will take place in the 4th grade classroom due to lack of computers in the library. The students will be in groups of 3 or 4 because there are not enough computers for each child.

One of our library’s goals is to foster and develop a love of reading in all children, and to improve students’ thinking and communication about what they read. In this lesson, the students will need to describe the type of book they prefer to read in a few words and then using those terms they will perform an image search. They will learn how to ethically search and use an image from a specific website.

This will be part of a unit of study for the 4th grade class. We want our students to learn about the many different types of books that exist and be aware of what their peers are reading. We are hoping that this information will encourage them to broaden the scope of books that they will be willing to read in the future.

1. Pencils down. Ask the class what they think the term “ethical” means. Take 3-4 answers and write key terms from students’ answers on the board. 2.

Explain our goal for today: ethically look for a picture that represents what you like to read. Emphasize that we can only use pictures that have been labeled as OK to re-use. 4.

Explain verbally (not necessary for students to write this down): these may or may not be the same words you wrote on the admit slip - and find an image that represents what you like to read. Model that this could be an image of Neil Gaiman, a gravestone, a ghost, etc. 5. Assign students into pairs. Give the following instructions: a) Each student should search ethically for an image that represents what he likes to read b) At the end of 6 minutes, each student will share his image with the rest of the class. c) Use 2 tabs or windows. Take any questions and have a student repeat these instructions back.

c. Give students time to <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">**explore or experiment**

Dismiss students to work in groups at computers. Allow 3-4 minutes for each student to search. Miss Bruce will circulate, observing each pair and answering specific questions, during the 6-8 minutes. 6. After 4 minutes, ring a bell that signals it is time to switch if you haven’t already done so. 7. Give students a 2-minute warning. 8. Ring the bell again to signal end of work-time. Have students angle their chairs towards each other. 9. One by one, have each student briefly (less than 1 minute) describe his image and why it represents what he likes to read.

Ask for volunteers to talk about books that they might want to explore based on classmates’ recommendations. Ask for questions and comments about using images ethically.

Hold a conversation to review the term “ethical” and how we defined it. Further assessment will take place in a following lesson, which will build on this. The next lesson will ask students to create a collage, presentation, or other creative work using images that are labeled for reuse. Students will be unable to complete that assignment if they have not mastered the material from this lesson.
