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...
