The Lesson

• Students at our school need to know how to use
  the Follett OPAC book search program.
• This lesson was designed to teach them the
  differences between fiction and nonfiction and
  how to find the books on the shelf using OPAC.
• The students could click on different web sites
  to learn more about the Dewey Decimal System.
• A simple worksheet was designed to help in the
  learning process.
• A pretest and post test was given to see how the
  students performed.

Summary
I already do this lesson with the students, but
usually one on one with no activities. Now that
I have actually made it into a formal lesson, I
plan to use it with each fourth and fifth grade
class at the beginning of each year and with the
third grade when I feel it is appropriate.

Summary

• The students really enjoyed this lesson and went
  beyond what I asked of them. They found book
  after book. I finally had to ask them to quit
  because we were out of time!!!
