Objective: In this lesson plan, the aim is for students to think critically about the reading for the
day (the Streitfield article) and put its ideas into both larger and more personal contexts. With
doing this, I also hope that members of the classroom gain a better understanding of each
other’s own experiences related to the subject of accessing written works and digital/analog
means of doing so.
Student Materials: None, though they would have needed to have read the article beforehand.
Instructional Materials: Chalkboard and chalk to write out leading questions.
Format: Small to large group discussion
Time Estimate: 20-30 minutes
Assessment
This activity will not pair with a deliverable form of assessment, though we will gauge the
student’s engagements with each other, the texts, and their own backgrounds through quality of
discussion. We will also ask some wrap-up questions, like “Did anyone see the issue differently
now than they would have a week ago?” or “So what do you think the role of libraries will be in
future contexts?”.
