Integrating IL skills with English Y9 Project

Wow.. it's the first time for me to teach IL skills in the UK. It's also the first time for me to collaborate with teacher and integrate the IL skills in her subject module. It's really a thrilling experience. I have put it into 3-4 sessions.Session 1 - Searching for Information. Mainly introduced where to look for information, types of sources including printed and non-printed. The Google 'Kung-fu' which I transformed the Booliean Search strategy into a set of body movement. I am so pleased that students still remember all these 'kung-fu' and applied in their Google search. When I evaluate my lesson, perhaps I should add one more topic - metasearch engines.Session 2 - Use of Information. It will be taken place on next Monday. I am still thinking how to present the ideas of 'ways to evaluate website sources' in an impressive way. Thinking showing students some 'spooky' and fake websites like man prenanacy. I would like to do more on note-taking, mind-map, organizing the information, presentation skills, image search engines...etcSession 3 - Use of Voicethread to give comment on these lessons, citation and reference skills, script for presentation.Lots of ideas in my mind and need to organize them.By the way, I also need to prepare the work of coming Literary Festival. wow.. super busy time is coming!!!
