Reading and Research

Today, Mrs. Mac’s 8th grade Reading class from Apollo visited the library. Their assignment was to research various topics associated with events in the 1930’s. This would give them background information for their upcoming reading of “To kill a Mockingbird.”

I taught them a mini research lesson on how to use encyclopedias, as well as how to access the indexes of non-fiction books on these topics. In addition, some students learned how to find their information in our databases and in Destiny’s Webpath Express, from our online catalog.
