Standards for your wall.

At our school, we must post our objectives and the standards that we are covering each day on the classroom wall. Here is an example of how Ive used our standards to do this.We must post our objectives and the standards that we are covering each day.2Working with literacy TIAs.

This is an example of our NWA Coops TIAs. The middle school librarians matched each nine weeks reading TIAs for 5th and 6th grades with our library media standards . We will then teach the library media standards that correspond with the literacy TIAs.This is an example of our NWA Coops TIAs. We matched each nine weeks reading TIAs with our library media standards so we teach them in the same nine weeks.3LMS Standards with Literacy TIAs.I.1.5.1Locate the library media center and identify the personnel for a purposeI.1.5.2Recognize how a library is organized and arranged to locate materials In major sections (e.g., fiction, nonfiction, reference, periodicals, special collections)By Dewey Decimal Classification Systemnumerically by subjectI.1.5.3Demonstrate understanding of acceptable use policy (AUP), circulation policy, and copyright laws R10.5.6; R10.5.7;I.1.5.4Recognize sources of information in different parts of a book (e.g., title page, table of contents, index, glossary, Verso page, appendix dedication page, preface/forward, author information, bibliography, blurb, or afterword) R11.5.6; R11.5.7; R11.5.9; R10.5.9; R11.5.11I.1.5.5Use text features to locate information that answers questions (e.g., topic sentences, captions, bold print, boxed text, chapter headings, subheadings R9.5.14; R9.5.2; R9.5.4; R9.5.13; I.1.5.6Locate a particular genre (e.g., historical fiction, biography, realistic fiction) R11.5.8; R9.5.14I.1.5.7Articulate an information need and access materials through methods such as identifying keywords or appropriate questioning techniques R 9.5.13I.1.5.8Use online public access catalog (OPAC) search techniques to locate appropriate resources, with guidanceKeyword subject author title R10.5.12; R11.5.12; R10.5.6; R10.5.7; W4.5.4Monthly Themes

If you have questions about specific dates, facts, times, amounts, etc, the best source to find information quickly is an almanac.

Why use an Atlas?
Although basically a book of maps, an atlas is a book that provides brief information such as population, climate, resources, rainfall, and cities.One of the main reasons for using an atlas is to locate specific places on a map. There are two major types of maps in an atlas--physical maps and political maps.Physical maps show the physical characteristics of the earth's surface such as mountains, rivers, deserts, and lakes. Political maps show the man-made boundaries between countries, states, and continents. The political divisions are shown using different colors on the maps.

A thesaurus is used to locate synonyms and antonyms such as:GET gain, win, procure, obtain, acquire, earn
