My first library session this term is with grade 11 students of the Business Management (BM) class. This is year 1 of the DP class on BM and the teacher requested for a session on finding and using good sources. She sent me an email identifying the needs of her class as well as the planned coverage. This is what she sent me.
Session Focus
1. Finding and using good secondary sources (Session 1)
In the context of the BM IA, these would include company reports,
industry reports, competitor reports, official statistics, business articles
and websites, business videos, business-related research.
and websites, business videos, business-related research.
Hopefully, you can also help lead them to find ".edu" articles on OPAC.
There is a lot to unpack here. So, plan to begin with an explanation of the session's focus.
I shall be modeling the a task analysis to the class before diving into a discussion on secondary sources and the selection and evaluation of each. This is in part, a way to teach skills in understanding and comprehending instructions. I have meet with the grade 11s during our Foundation Week where I had an library orientation on the use of EBSCO and online subscriptions. This session serves as an extension of the library orientation from last week.
