Teacher Librarian Collaboration: Gathering Information and Prewriting

This week in school, I had the wonderful opportunity to teach and collaborate with the Learning Support Teachers and the English/Literacy Skills teacher on using references, particularly the general encyclopedias (print and online).

This teaching experience is in connection to gathering information at the prewriting stage of the writing process. A review of the Subtopic Gathering Grid was an essential lesson on skills building as it helps funnel the breadth and depth of the available information.
