Library Instruction Planning Chart
The following chart illustrates what will be covered on each page and the flow of how to work toward designing a lesson plan.
Please note that all of the elements presented on the pages and tabs weave together to create high quality library instruction sessions, therefore, the process will be iterative as elements will likely need to be revisited during lesson plan development.
