This is the Moodle site for Year 7 Library Lessons
The materials here are designed to be used during your library lessons. The skills you learn here will be useful for research that you do during your time at Cronulla High School. 

The first activity is a reading journal. In this part of the course, you will record the book or book you have read over the fortnight. There is space for you to evaluate your development as a reader, and for you to make comments about the book. 

During the semester, you will learn about ways to use the library, the internet and generative AI to complete research tasks and complete your won research from start to finish.
