WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LIBRARY LESSONS AND THE DIGITAL BULLETIN BOARD?

There are three Library Lessons in this January bundle. Each Library Lesson includes two parts. The first part is a whole-group discussion activity. It includes a song or poem, sign language, and group discussion. This first part is designed to be librarian- or teacher-led.

The second part of the Library Lessons is a Digital Bulletin Board about that topic. This comes with a differentiated scavenger hunt activity that goes with the slideshow.

The three Library Lessons in this bundle also come with editable, standards-aligned lesson plans. Standards include: CCSS, AASL, and TEKS (Texas).

You will need to set up automatic slide timers (instructions included). This is an independent activity designed to keep students busy during library checkout time.

The Digital Bulletin Board is a longer scrolling slideshow. It also includes a differentiated scavenger hunt activity. The librarian or teacher can certainly use some slides as a lesson, but it does not have two separate parts like the Library Lesson does.

The Digital Bulletin Board is also designed as an independent library activity.

The Digital Bulletin Board is not designed as a lesson, so it does not include a lesson plan. It does help keep students entertained so the librarian can deal with book checkout!

ARE ANY SLIDES DUPLICATED?

Nope! While some information may be similar, no two slides or pages are the same in these library lessons. They are very different from one another.
