​
Review Reading Bingo/Genres Reading for Pleasure OR review how to find these in the catalog and to make recommendations for one another by logging in.  



Reading for Information

Picture
This is a super mini research project.  It is just designed to give kids a taste for research.

Students may be more interested the 3D printer and/or strawbees OR they might be more interested in learning how to get a patent.  You decide!  

This would be a GREAT time to pull books about inventions!

Dewey System 4th-5th

Introduction:Day 1

Introduction -- 000's

Computer Books and Unexplained Phenomenon

Introduce New books in library including The Cryptid Files (Fiction section), Cryptozoology, etc. 

Introduce the concept of some books being in Nonfiction even though they are clearly not "true" books.

If you have extra time either read about one of the unexplained creatures in the cryptozoology book OR the first 2 pages of the Cryptid Files #1.

Day 2--300's


Day 3-400's!

The Great Dewey Coin Caper

Picture
This website shows the 300's and some interesting categories

The video is all about the 300s, but it is very quiet.

Activity-Fortune Teller


Lesson Plan

Introduction:  Review Dewey Categories (ie why are we walking through Dewey?)
  Answer: So we can be introduced to new books and sections we might enjoy AND be able to find books quickly!

400's--Review the original Prezi (from above about the other sections of Dewey).

Introduce a few good books from the 400 sections.  What other types of books would kids like to see?  Do they seem interested in language books?  Let me know!

Play The Great Dewey Coin Caper (As a class).  

If you need an incentive tell them that we will be doing a library game day for classes that have earned it in a month or so. 

Link to another PPT about Dewey


Day 4--500's !!

What kind of things are in the 500's?  Check out Dewey Browse!

​The 500's cover a lot of material and are often popular.  
Link to the game Dewey UP

For the pieces of paper I would substitute the cards from one of the shelf order games.  

Before students play remind them that just part of going to the library is learning the Dewey number.  Few people have Dewey memorized.  The biggest skill is using the # from the catalog and then finding where that number would go on the shelf.
