In the Library students are required to go on line and using a list of sources find and print an article that interests them. They are then asked to break down the process of reading using a worksheet. Students are not allowed to use search engines but are encouraged to take the time to think about what they may want to know about and use reliable links to attain that knowledge.
Skills students continue to utilize their time either by working on school assignments with assistance or participating in educational activities.
