Media Center Curriculum.

The Media Center sees every class once every two weeks. we focus primarily on English/Language Arts and technology standards. Below are some examples of lessons we have completed so far this school year:

Finding books using Destiny and a book hunt locating books online and in the Media Center by category and Lexile level.
Literary genres. Students write a summary about their favorite book and take a picture to create a reading database.
Research with non-fiction books. Classes created a "Weird but True" book.
Creating, editing and sharing a document using Office365.
Installing a school printer and printing from a student login.
Exploring the genre of Drama and, in small groups, writing a act play and then performing the play for the class.
Doing a STEM activity involving "Novel Engineering."

The Cobb County Public Library has teamed up with Cobb County Schools to offer extended access to print and online resources. Students now have access to public library databases using their Cobb students ID's.
