Feedback Form

(From Leah) 1. At PLC meeting #2, you discussed and answered questions about the 21 st Century

Skill of Critical Thinking and Reasoning that is embedded in your standards. Today,

take a short time at the beginning of your meeting to explore the 21 st Century Skill

of Information Literacy.

Information Literacy (Reading, Writing and Communicating)

The student who is information-literate accesses information efficiently and effectively by reading and understanding essential content of a range of informational texts and documents in all academic areas. This involves evaluating information critically and competently; accessing appropriate tools to synthesize information; recognizing relevant primary and secondary information; and distinguishing among fact, point of view, and opinion.

•   Discuss and answer the three questions that follow. Include at least one example of what you are already doing or plan to do to help students master this skill. Please record your answers on Feedback Form #2 or on the attached document and send your answers to me.

1. How does the skill of Information Literacy connect to something you already do in your classroom?

2. How might you integrate this skill more explicitly in your lessons?

3. What will you do to help students become better with this skill?
