This wee
k Mrs. Wilson and I have been working hard to get all the new books for persuasive speech research ready for check-out. We are adding 34 new pro/con books to the collection. Since it is important for students to be able to find books on their topic even if there is only a chapter of information, I type into our automation system the table of contents for each non-fiction book. While this takes a lot of time, it is very valuable to the students. A keyword search will bring these books to the student's attention.
Students will be able to check-out these new books, but only one book at a time and only for one night. Check-out begins at 3 PM as the students are on their
way to the buses. This is our general policy for books being used for research and insures that the books are in the IMC during the school day but still gives students an opportunity to continue their research at home. Some of the new title are: Is Global Warming a Threat?, Overweight America, Electronic Devices in Schools, Organ Transplants, Offshore Drilling, The Right to Die, Gun Control, Illegal Immigration, and America's Prisons. These books and the other new books present both sides of the controversial topic and are very helpful for persuasive speech research. If anyone has trouble finding a book for their topic, they should see a librarian for assistance.
