Teaching Dewey
Hogsett, Nancy
Library Media Connection, v24 n4 p28-31 Jan 2006
The author, as a library media specialist, admitted that she needed more study on library organization despite three years of teaching Dewey to her elementary students. To be more accurate, she realized she needed a clearer understanding of what Mr. Melvil Dewey had in mind when he devised his plan for organizing books and information in the library. She also needed a way to make her students identify with the importance of organization. She realized she needed more information on Dewey's method of organization and an effective way to convey that information to students with varied interests and learning styles. In this article, the author discusses four lessons in her revised teaching plan and creative ways to introduce, explain, and teach Dewey.
