The document outlines a library lesson plan for 1st grade students on historical figures of America. The lesson involves students using online and print resources to find information on Thomas Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, and Harriet Tubman. Students then create a PowerPoint presentation with the information to demonstrate their learning.

Identify the contributions made by these figures: Thomas Jefferson (Declaration of Independence), Meriwether Lewis and William Clark with Sacagawea (exploration), Harriet Tubman (Underground Railroad). <br />OVERVIEW: <br />The 1st grade students of Mr. Bishop’s class have been reading nonfiction texts on the contributions of Thomas Jefferson, Lewis and Clark with Sacagawea, and Harriet Tubman to America. Social studies standards are incorporated into language arts by these nonfiction texts. The students have worked on vocabulary on these figures as well as completed graphic organizers that give information about each one. Mr. Bishop now would like to do a final assessment that encompasses all of the historical figures. He has asked that I help with this by giving them instruction on using resources to find information on the figures to be added to a PowerPoint presentation.<br />FINAL PRODUCT: Students complete a SLMS-created PowerPoint mini-book that explains the contributions of the historical figures.<br />LIBRARY LESSON(S): The students will use a SLMS-created wiki for directions and use pulled resources to find information on 3 important historical figures and display that information in a mini-book created in PowerPoint.<br />ASSESSMENT <br />• Product: SLMS and teacher assess the mini-book looking for correct information inserted in the blanks from the online resources and added information from the print resources using a rubric. <br />• Process: SLMS and teacher observe the students as they use the resources, write down facts, and use PowerPoint.<br />• Student self-questioning: <br />Did I open the PowerPoint from the wiki website?
