In going through this weeks lesson and browsing through the class discussion I have realized that learning the DDC can be fun. In my discussion post I talked about two activities that I have done in the past. I also liked two of the websites posted by Jane Leslie. I will now post my discussion post for this week and the two online Dewy Decimal games to play.

My DDC Discussion Post
Last year during job action when we were instructed not to administer
the FSA's my principal took my class and I took the grade 5's from
another class and did library training with them. I made up two
activities for them around the DDC.
Activity 1 DDC Pictionary: Just
the same as regular Pictionary but with the clues being DDC numbers and
subject headings. The class was divided into teams and they took turns
drawing out their clues. The students had a really fun time and seemed
to retain the main categories.
Activity 2 Draw the Library: Students
drew a map of the library and then labeled each section and sub section
section with drawings including the Non Fiction section with DDC
subsections. The result was beautifully creative maps that described
the DDC in a fun way.
