***MINI ASSESSMENT*** You are almost ready to present your brochure to a public audience. You have learned about the rules, roles, and resources in the library media center. For the next two weeks you will work on "publishing" your brochure.
Lets do some self reflection and evaluation. 1.What have you enjoyed most or most looking forward to in completing your brochure? 2. What has been the most challenging part of creating your brochure? 3. What have you learned about what it takes to be a librarian? Make sure to answer each question and to include a topic sentence. Example: As I reflect upon my group brochure project I have learned many things. I have enjoyed learning about what a librarian does and I am looking forward to publishing my brochure. The most challenging part has been making sure that my partners and I stay on task. Lastly, I have learned that a librarian has many responsibilities. He/She must help students find resources, create library displays, and much more. |
