CALL FOR ?RECIPES? (CHAPTER PROPOSALS)

The Discovery Tool Cookbook: Recipes for Successful Lesson Plans is seeking recipes!

Put on your creativity bonnet! We?re looking for practice-based examples of lesson plans or projects that work in a discovery tool environment. Like any good kitchen, variety is key; we want lesson plans for one-shot classes and credit-bearing courses written in an approachable, informative style for librarians on-the-go.

Recipes will follow the Cookbook format. Your 500-to-700-word submission must describe a successful lesson plan or activity that uses a discovery tool. Recipes will also include:

? Recipe name (a.k.a. your ?chapter? title)

? Your name, university or other affiliation, and email

? Potential cookbook category (see below)

? Nutrition Information (summary of the lesson plan with learning outcomes)

? Dietary Guidelines (link to a threshold concept and corresponding knowledge practice(s) from the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Recipes in the ?Regional Fare? category, such as those for grades 9 to 12, may refer to other applicable guidelines.)

? Cooking Time (includes preparation time and length of lesson)

? Number Served (class size)

? Ingredients and Equipment (what do you need to make this work)

? Preparation (what needs to be done ahead of time)

? Cooking Method (the lesson plan)

? Allergy Warnings (helpful tips)

? Chef?s Notes (author?s comments and anecdotes)

? Clean Up (closing the loop, formative and/or summative assessment to measure the effectiveness of the instruction)

? Additional Resources (handouts, assessment)

Cookbook categories:

Section One: The Larder
