Information literacy grows into great writing in the primary grades when the time is taken to provide a framework for learners. Basically, the mini-lesson should be approximately five (5) to ten (10) minutes, but it is only one (1) small component in writing workshop. …show more content…
Plan in the beginning; 2. Do in the middle; 3. Review in the end. The Super3 is a simplified version of the Big6 research model primarily used in elementary school to help students understand how to research. The Super 3 is appropriate for preschoolers through third grade students, but the schematic can be use for fourth and fifth graders.
In the Step 1: Plan of Super3 brainstorm, and ask students to take notes by asking questions like: What is my job? What information do I need to find? Where can I find the information? How will I know if my work is good? What is my plan?
Next, Step 2: Do (Middle) is the stage where students work on the project. I will find the information needed for the job. I can put the information together to make sense. I may read from books, use the computer, take notes, and draw pictures. I will cite my sources of information.
Last, Step 3: Review (End) Did I complete the job? Do I feel great about my work? Have I proofread to make sure it is correct? Is there anything else that needs to be done? What will I do differently next time? Did I use my own …show more content…
The American Library Association defined Information Literacy as: “To be information literate, a person must be able to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information.”
Information literacy grows into great writing in the primary grades when the time is taken to provide a framework for learners. Basically, the mini-lesson should be approximately five (5) to ten (10) minutes, but it is only one (1) small component in writing workshop. A mini-lesson is a short focused delivery of explicit instruction. Information literacy can be taught through a series of mini-lessons that focus on teaching the skills to make sure students understand “Super 3” and “Big 6” which are models that help students solve problems or make decisions when faced with a task of having to read and then use new information to matriculate a form of written
