Implementing a Project

In order to prepare for a successful project I would need to organize myself first! My first step would be to preview some books in the library and have the librarian help me create a cart of books that are geared towards the topics my students are working with. Next I would preview some websites and have our librarian add them to the 5th grade research link. Since my students have never created a brochure I would need to create some samples to show them. I would need to schedule the computer lab for the days we would need research. The more I am organized, the more successful and at ease my students will be.
