ASPECT OF READING ACROSS THE CONTENT SUBJECTS AND TECHNOLOGY INTO THIS UNIT. THE TEACHERS
APPROACH THE SCHOOL MEDIA SPECIALIST WITH AN IDEA TO COLLABORATE ON A LESSON WITH THE CELLS
UNIT. AS THEY PLAN TOGETHER THEY DECIDE THAT STUDENTS WILL NOT ONLY LOOK AT PRINTED
MATERIALS (BOOKS), BUT ALSO NON PRINTED MATERIALS, AND DIGITAL RESOURCES. THE SCHOOL
MEDIA SPECIALIST SUGGESTS THAT STUDENTS LEARN TO SEARCH FOR AND READ A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT
MATERIALS IN ORDER TO GAIN FURTHER INFORMATION TO BE ABLE TO CREATE THEIR OWN MODEL OF A
CELL. STUDENTS WILL RESEARCH INFORMATION AND TAKE NOTES OF NEW INFORMATION THAT WAS FOUND
IN THEIR RESEARCH. THIS IS ONE LESSON IN A UNIT THAT EXTENDS OVER FOUR WEEKS.
FINAL PRODUCT:
STUDENTS WILL WORK COLLABORATIVELY TOGETHER IN PAIRS OR INDEPENDENTLY TO NAVIGATE THEIR WAY
THROUGH WEBSITES, BOOKS AND VIDEOS TO RESEARCH INFORMATION ON CELLS. IN THIS ASSIGNMENT
STUDENTS WILL LEARN AND GET IDEAS TO PLAN HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO CREATE A CELL.
LIBRARY LESSON(S):
(Describe the lesson activities for the selected AASL Standards.)
STUDENTS WORK WITH THE SCHOOL MEDIA SPECIALIST FOR ONE LESSON FOCUSING ON DIFFERENT
INFORMATIONAL MATERIALS THAT CAN BE USED FOR RESEARCHING ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS AND WHERE
THE MATERIALS CAN BE FOUND WITHIN THE MEDIA CENTER AND ONLINE.
Student self-questioning
Some examples may be:
-What is the difference in cell structures between the plant cell and animal cell?
-What are the functions of the cell structures?
-What are cells?
-Why are they so important?
-Where do I think I will find more information?
-After researching this topic are there any questions I have that werent answered?
-Do I have enough information to accurately complete this assignment?

Instruction/activities
(Provide explicit details for the lesson including the activities for both the teacher and the library media
specialist.)
o
Direct instruction:
Teacher will introduce the Cell unit to students and explain to them how they will be
beginning a unit on Cells and their functions. Students will discuss what they already
know about cells and what they can learn about Cells.
The school media specialist will explain that she understands they have been learning
about cells in science. The media specialist would then relay to students all the different
forms of resources one can use when they are researching information. She would have a
power point showing the different forms and how they can be useful, books, websites and
videos. She reviews with them where they can find these materials. She tells students
that today they will be working on researching cells using a variety of reliable resources,
in which they will work on questioning, identifying/labeling the cells, and defining the
functions of the cell.
For students that may need more time I would break the assignment up
into different segments for them to complete over a course of time.
For students that are finishing quickly they would be given modeling clay
to create a model of a cell.
