<div>Hi All,</div>
<div class="x_elementToProof">I have an upcoming visit scheduled to teach some information literacy skills to third through fifth grade at the local elementary school. I used to just do a kind of Powerpoint presentation and show them some things, and do exaggerated
silly misinformation and have them point it out. It got some laughs but I am wondering if anyone has some other things they do for this age group? I am a bit tired of the same old thing. Any ideas are appreciated!</div>
<div class="x_elementToProof"><br>

<div class="x_elementToProof">Thanks,</div>
