Library Information and Literary Studies 11 at Fraser Heights

Find a graphic novel (or picture book) that deals with a historical event or specific issue (the Holocaust/Iranian revolution/bullying etc). It can be fiction or non-fiction.  Please have your choice approved first In a blog post include: A picture of the book along with title, name of author and copyright information. A summary of the book. The summary needs to be in your own words and include all of the pertinent information needed for someone who has not read the book to feel they understand it. This means you need to read the book ;)  Some information/facts about the issue. The information can be copy/pasted but you must include sources (MLA). A description of an assignment for a certain class (i.e. Socials 11, English 9, Career and Planning 10, Social Justice 12, First Nations 12) using that book as well as other picture books or graphic novels around  the same theme.  This means you will need to research other books that would help them. We don't need to h...

 Reflecting & Thinking Ahead Part 1:   On your class team, there is an assignment posted. You will see a rubric. For each point on the rubric, I want you to write a comment under the column you feel best fits your progress (so for example, you may feel for one point you are "Proficient" so you will write a comment about why you are in that box in the proficient box). You will do this for every point (so you will be writing a lot of comments!). You will also fill out the portion that asks for strengths/things to work on-in detail. This is due THURSDAY March 5th (so I have time to respond and fill it out). This is an official document for your interim. Please don't post this on your blog! Just hand it in on teams.                   Part 2:  1. Watch the above video about working in a library and respond to it.  2. Describe your first 5 weeks as a Library Science student. What does it take to be a great library...

  Librarians are considered guardians of knowledge. Therefore, it is very important that they are able to read news discerningly, search for information, make connections, and be able to compare the information they found, so they can be sure the knowledge they guard is as correct as possible!    Part 1: Current Events: Find a current article in a print newspaper or an online newspaper about something that is happening in Canada or the world that is of interest to you personally, or that you think is a significant event.  Use a credible news source.  Post a link to the article or take a picture of it. Summarize the article in your own words. Personal Reflection:  Explain why you think the event or issue described in the article is important. How does this affect you/us/our world? Use quotes from the article to support your ideas. Post to your blog. This part should be at least 500 words.  Find at least  2 other articles  on this same...

  Understanding and Promoting Library Resources  One of the important aspects of understanding (and loving) our libraries is knowing what resources we have, beyond books! This will help you to be a better help to fellow students, and help you understand the role of a library technician on a better scale. If you are interested, you can even help me teach about these for a particular class!  For this assignment, you will need to go to the library catalogue, and then to sd36 digital resources, and click on student resources.  If you need a password, your surreyschools login should work. If not, try username: sd36bc and pw: Surrey@2025.  Part 1: Databases S elect 4 databases from the SD#36 On Line Digital Resources (only 1 encyclopedia). For each database: give a description of the database and include the icon/image. Use your own words!  explain situations where each database could be useful to Fraser Heights students. Be specific; explain what grade (s), subj...

  Reading Autob iography   How does reading fit into the story of your life? Which books have shaped who you are and how you see the world?   A reading autobiography is a timeline of a person’s reading experiences-both positive and negative -from their first memories to the present. It is not just a list of memorable books, but it often starts there. They can generate self-reflection and teach us about our own and other’s reading lives. What we choose to read and how much time and effort we invest in reading (or don’t ) affects who we are.   Every book we read offers potential benefits-knowledge, escape, entertainment, insight-but some books transform us in fundamental ways. Maybe it’s the first time you realized a book could evoke powerful emotions, or the first time a book changed your mind about one of your beliefs, or the fi rst time you fell in love with a character or were inspired by a character.   So how do I make a reading autobiography?   ...

                                       Your Very First Blog Post 1. Find a famous quote about libraries, books, reading, writing or authors. 2. Post the quote with an image that relates to it.  3. Explain who said it and tell us something about them (you might need to do some research on the person). 3. Discuss why you chose that quote, what the author meant by it and what it means to you. Example : Give a brief explanation of who George R. Martin is, explain why you chose the quote, what you think the author meant by it, and what it means to you.  This must all be in your own words, please! No copy and paste, and no ChatGPT! I am interested in what YOU care about, and what YOU think <3  Part 2:  1. Once you are feeling more comfortable with checking books in and out, please write down what you have learned about it-what are the most important things to remember?...
