Wisdom Begins in Wonder: Implementing Identity-Based Information Literacy Instruction across the Content Areas
Mertens, Gillian E.; Mundorf, Jon; Bainter, Taylor; Bourn, John; Kohnen, Angela M.
Middle School Journal, v52 n2 p38-47 2021
In this article, we describe a collaboratively developed information literacy curriculum that was embedded into three core 8th grade subjects: Algebra, American History, and English Language Arts. The curriculum was rooted in the concept of generalist literacy and supported students as they developed their curiosity, skepticism, commitment to accuracy, and persistence around online information. Each quarter, we included three new information literacy lessons and time for students to work on an independent passion project, the Wonder Project. We discuss the benefits of engaging in this work across multiple content areas and conclude with recommendations for future work.
