This lesson plan, which has a Halloween theme to its PowerPoint and activity, is designed to introduce students to the idea of synthesizing sources. The plan includes two activities, with the first one using Halloween monsters and the second one using a series of Halloween-related scholarly articles. The articles are not included in this lesson plan for copyright/accessibility reasons - I'd recommend choosing 3-5 current Halloween articles that are all revolving around similar themes. I chose articles about Halloween costume choice. Print out the abstract of the article and provide that to the students.
This lesson is used to teach future instructors of ENGH 101. In it, the library instructor leads the class through depicting the ENGH 101 research process, then adding where a library instructor can help, and then finally asking them to establish how they would scaffold the library visit. This lesson plan was delivered online via Zoom, but was originally developed as an in-person lesson using physical whiteboards and should work in both modalities.
This ENGH 101 lesson introduces students to how to evaluate sources. It begins with a Kahoot and then discusses aspects of evaluation like authority and accuracy. It uses 4 moves and a habit as a way to evaluate sources.
