To Do List

10 minute Warm Up

How did your weekend go? What are your plans for Halloween? Going to study for those exams that your professor stacked onto this week? Partying it up? Or did you do all of that this weekend? (Details at your discretion -- ie. please DON'T tell me if you got drunk or if you held your friend's hair while they were drunk!)

Educating Ourselves on the ACRL...

First, go to the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education site. You can find the link here.

Get into your groups and look over the titles of the sections. As a refresher they are --

Authority Is Constructed and Contextual

Ariel's Muse

Information Creation as a Process

The Lost Boyz

Marnie's Mistakes

Information Has Value

The Mad Pinocchio's

The Micecateeres

Research as Inquiry

The Glass Slippers

Bootay Krew

Scholarship as Conversation

The Sleepless Beasts

The Lost Kid$

Searching as Strategic Exploration

The Dumb Cats

The Purrty Cats

Choose a section that you, as a group, want to teach to the rest of the class. I will be teaching the first section, since you've already all read that section (wink wink nudge nudge) and that will just be a quick refresher -- OBVIOUSLY.

You need to decide on a medium/genre that will successfully help your group present the section to the rest of the class. DON'T overthink this or make it razzle dazzle. The main goal is to get your ______ across. (Fill in the blank: genre, audience, purpose).

Things you need to include in your "share time": summarize the section but IN YOUR OWN WORDS and discuss how the section connects to (1) the Naming What We Know threshold concepts, (2) your FYLP presentations, and (3) our overall goals as a class this semester -- think about the learning outcomes, key words, and habits of mind. Last thing I want you to discuss is how your group plans on successfully applying this framework to your future writing.

As always -- consider your genre, audience, and purpose!

If you aren't here today -- you MUST contact your group on your own time to find out what you need to do to help prepare for Wednesday!!

Presentations start WEDNESDAY -- so remember you can work outside of the classroom, and don't waste all your time on the cutesy pictures and fun slide transitions! And I won't be going in order of the list, so you MUST be ready to go Wednesday!

Get into your groups and start working!

When your professor gives you a last minute presentation assignment...
