Information Literacy Lesson and Pathfinder (PSC/NCATE Key Assessment #6)Using the Georgia QCCs/GPS and the Standards for the 21st Century Learner, each student will collaboratewith a classroom teacher to design, develop, and implement a lesson focusing on information literacy skills

as part of the classroom curriculum.Lessons need to follow the action example template format on p.116 of Standards in Action. The lesson should be part of a larger classroom unit, but for this assignmentonly the actual information literacy lesson itself must be turned in. The information literacy lesson mustdemonstrate teacher-media specialist collaboration, and you (the potential media specialist) must teach arelevant portion of the unit. This means that you are required to take on the role of the media specialistand collaborate with another teacher. To support the information literacy lesson, you need to prepare aresearch pathfinder that students and/or teachers could use. Your pathfinder may be developed using theweb tool of your choice (i.e. web page, wiki, or blog). The lesson must also include an evaluation orassessment of student learning from the lesson. This does not have to be in the form of a test—we willdiscuss methods of assessing student learning of information literacy skills during the semester. This

assignment includes three components: a written lesson plan (using the template on p. 116), the researchpathfinder, and a reflection that focuses on collaboration, your responsibilities/reactions to serving in therole of the media specialist, and on your assessment of student learning.

This assignment should be submitted electronically by November 16.
