1. Dewey Decimal System Posters I can describe different categories. I can explain and show how they are used in the library.

2. Remember: You are going to find out more about 1 category. Each GROUP is assigned a set of 100 (100 – 199, 200 – 299, 300 – 399, etc). Find your group. Then go look at that category of books. What are they about? How could you show it on a poster? Pick a few books to help you with examples and drawings. We will put the books in number order under the bulletin board to use next week.

3. Remember: Your poster should include: The number and the category For example: Pure Sciences – 500 – 599 (2 points {.1 for numbers, 1 for category}) 10 pictures or sentences to describe your category. Remember: you are trying to teach others about your category, make it easy to read and understand. Show examples to help others see what the category is about. (10 points) An example of when you might need your category. (1 point)

4. The End of Posters!!! I would like for the posters to be finished today, so that we can start a new project next week. Look at your checklist to see what you need to finish.
