Worked in library media center for 1 hour, 30 minutes
o Today I created a resource list for a social studies teacher who requested that it be made for an upcoming project they are doing on persuasive writing where they compare Japanese internment camps to the way Muslim Americans were treated following September 11th with the creation of things like the Patriot Act.
o To create this original list I used our online library catalog and searched for books using key words and concepts. Then, I transferred selected books onto a Microsoft Word document and then also added appropriate Internet websites and sources from the library resources homepage that could help direct students in their research. Next week when students begin this research essay, Ms. Stamm would like me to introduce this sheet to the students and explain all of the helpful resources they can utilize during this project.
o While creating this particular resource list, one thing I noticed was that it was difficult to find scholarly and/or accurate information/websites on the Patriot Act. This is a downside when working with newer historical information.
