IL Lesson Plans by MUNPARLAS Participants (1 of 4)

I gave a "homework" to participants of the seminar-workshop on Information Literacy (IL) sponsored and hosted by MUNPARLAS last July 19, 2013. I asked them to submit an IL lesson plan that has the following contents: objectives, learning experience, evaluation and feedback. Three librarians rose up to the challenge. They are Rosalinda Timbol, Marifi Navarro and Regine Abool.

Ms. Timbol and Ms. Navarro are school librarians from Elizabeth Seton School. Ms. Abool is a library assistant in the school library of the Divine Light Academy, Las Pinas.

My first illustrated story book. Illustrator is Bernadette Solina-Wolf who is based in Puerto Galera, Mindoro.

Congratulations to all three! Their lesson plans will be posted in the blog this month. I will also send them an autographed copy of my new illustrated story book, A Tale of Two Dreams (Lampara House, 2013).

Dear SLIA: School Library Instruction Part 2

Once again, I got a question on how a school library instruction program can be developed. The question came from the librarian of Ateneo de Davao University, Madame Carmen B. Migalbin. She is the head librarian of the Grade School at ADDU. We met during the IASL Regional Conference in Bacolod.

This is her question:

...we,  librarians and English teachers are revising our Library Instruction Program. Can you share some ideas of  library skills or lessons to be included in each grade level? Baka, you have some good reference in mind. This is one of the topics I wrote in the evaluation after the Bacolod seminar.

I received the same question sometime in January of this year from Ms. Angelic Bautista, but hers focus more on the preschool level. Anyway, it is the same concern. In the digital age, library skills instruction/Information Literacy Skills Instruction is needed more than ever.

My reply to Madame Carmen will follow soon.
