Discovered the joys of school libraries in 2000 and never looked back!

Strong magpie tendancies: I pick up ideas from books, friends, movies, Twitter, podcasts, journals, conferences, anywhere and everywhere…

A FEW THINGS THAT INFLUENCE HOW I DESIGN MY ACTIVITIES FOR YOUNGER

STUDENTS

Timetable

Library environment – traditional…

Predicting the future

Ask students to predict something about the story based on the cover

Note their predictions on your whiteboard, or in an app on your device, or get them to line up and record their statements using your laptop or a handheld recorder.

After the story, go back and check – which ideas were right?

Variation: stop halfway through the story and make predictions

Making predictions

Working with non-fiction

This activity introduces children to subject classification.Plan for groups of 4 students, and pre-select books from 5 or 6 subject areas (depending on class size)Scatter shuffled selections of books around the room and forbid students to touch!Each student picks one book, and then they have to walk around and try to work out how to make a group of 4 (without being told to use the subject)As the groups form, they check with the teacher and then sit down.Once all groups have formed correctly, lead a class discussion on why their books made a group. Give hints to look at the spine until someone spots the call numbers. Ask everyone to see if their group has the same numbers. This leads nicely to a discussion of the organisation of non-fiction.
