Some ideas to use with the students
1) Make an origami heart and share your message about why you love your library.
2) Writing From the Heart – Lesson plan
“Students explore the writing process by identifying people, places, ideas, or things that are important to them. Students will use technology to write, peer-edit, revise, and compile their final products.”

Note taking, Edshelf and Blendspace
Note taking is something that we all need to do.
Enclosed in the Blendspace below is an excellent tutorial that guides the listener in good practice and ways to improve and be more effective and efficient.
The skill of note taking is one that can be developed with practice.
The Blendspace below has interactive tutorials, suggested guidelines and images of how notes can be set out.
