This is the second year all 9th graders (about 1,600 students!) attended an orientation in the library, in close collaboration with our excellent English teachers. We continue to stress the importance of learning about the library resources, how to locate and use our library catalog and online subscription databases. Students received a link to a website we created and assessment. Their assignment was to read the site and watch all videos, and to use that information to complete the assessment.
If you are interested, here is a link to the online version of the resources we shared, including a (new for 2019) live action short video we created with a tour of the library, an animated video outlining our policies and holdings, and two videos about using our catalog and online database resources: http://bthslib.weebly.com/9th-grade-orientation-2018.html As part of our in-class activity, students had an opportunity to create "spine poems" using book spines to write original poetry, as well as take photos in front of our green screen, with a book they might select if they were on a desert island. We hope you enjoy a small sample of their poetic creations!
