Fiction & Wrap-Up

Before you can "Track Down a Good Book with Dewey" there's one section of the library we still need to discuss, Fiction. Remember, fiction books are made up by the author. They are also written for your reading enjoyment.

Here at Southern Elementary School our Fiction section is divided into two separate parts. Easy Reader books are for students who are learning to read and Fiction (or chapter books) are for more advanced readers. Look for the signs showing where each type of books is located.

The first line of the call number for Easy Reader books is E. The first line for the Fiction books is FIC.

Fiction and Easy Reader books are arranged on their shelves in alphabetical order by the author's last name. (The first three letters of the author's last name are the bottom line of the call number on the spine of the book). When you read a book you like, it's easy to find other books by the same author because they are together on the shelf.



Your final assignment in "Track Down a Good Book with Dewey" is to go to this Dewey Decimal Game and play it. Then post a two-part comment.

First, tell how many of the game questions you answered correctly the first time and then write the most important thing you learned about the library from this blog.

Example Comment:
I answered 9 of the Dewey Decimal Game questions correctly the first time.
From this blog I learned the 10 Dewey Decimal Classes and how to find information in them.
