I have finished grading all the research project powerpoints and am waiting for the last January bookmarks to hit my desk today. I thought I would share the subjects students chose for their research. They were allowed to choose a person, place, or thing. The last research paper was a biographical paper so no one chose a person this time, but we did get lots of animals. ( This may have something to do with the last database we wrote up, Science Online from Facts on File.)
Anyway, I got projects on African Lions, giant pandas, chimpanzees, wolves, Bengal tigers, Panthers, hurricanes and Amsterdam. Even their bookmarks are reflecting diversified reading interests: manga (Tsubasa and Bleach), Fantasy (Skellig and Harry Potter), Biography (Tupac Amaru Shakur) and Adventure (the Ranger's Apprentice series). It makes my job much more fun, to read the reviews they do in bookmark format and provide them to our patrons on cardstock. Kids pick them up almost everyday and we are getting the news out about books that other students are reading now.
I will get allnew students in a week to train about OPAC, Dewey Decimals, order and database uses and citations. Life is good. I love living where the temperature can change 35+ degrees from 7 AM to 3 PM. I love having an avaerage of 200 studetns per day come through our library and I'm glad I have a job in this economy. Good reading to all.
