This one-shot lesson plan was designed for first-year community college students in a First Year Experience (FYE) course at Lone Star College-CyFair Library, a joint use academic and public library branch of the Harris County Public Library.

Students work in groups, complete a worksheet, present their work as a group, and reflect in a minute paper at the end of the session.
