--Here are some logical goals for today's library block:
- Use varied search terms to find potential sources, skimming for both relevance and credibility.
- Each time you find a relevant and credible source, print/copy the source so that you have easy access to it when it comes time to purposefully read.
- After finding a source that you have little to no doubt you will use, input the source in NoodleTools so as to build your Works Cited page.
- Leave with at least two pieces of nonfiction.
- Is it okay to listen to music while working? If so, can the music be accessed through a personal device?
- Do we need to draw cards and randomly select computers, or can you be trusted to self-select where you sit?
- Are side conversations acceptable so long as they are on topic?
- Etc.
